It's been getting cold here in Rome too. Last night's minimum was about 5°,
but day time's it is still up at a dry, healthy, sunny 18°. Best wishes for
Christmas season and Hannukah to everyone. I have been upset by the Disco
they opened just on the gates of Auschwitz and by a detectable rise in
intollerance just about everywhere. I'm working a a Villannelle to express
my fears. Liam if it's any comfort I haven't heard either if EA has taken
those three poems I sent many weeks ago...remember. But I have blind faith
in Nessa, though she seems to be the strong silent type. Linda congrats on
the short story. With the holiday season almost on us I hope to catch up on
reading your stuff, Liam's and Bernard O'Grady's. I will be going to London
on Dec 27th until Jan 7th. Sean I don't know what the H*** a neck-tube is,
but be sure to keep all extremities protected out there, and where is
Calgary?
