I was close to Brindisi once, as close as Bent Sørensen is now,

there in Rome at the conference. I wished he were here, not so much that I were

there, my traveling these days so much more local & internal than world wide.

Desiring conversation, however, I had to carry on a dialogue with myself first,

then invited legends to participate. I’d heard from Stuart overnight, Stephen &

Paul first thing in the morning, & Marianne at midday, so it wasn’t as if I were

lonely or anything. http://americaadrift.com/
