But the sad history of Paraguay has always interested me, so perhaps I should come to you, especially if you are not living in Asunción...Woflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215884001340285492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577091962812282559.post-14731501808294314452015-09-09T07:55:37.187-07:002015-09-09T07:55:37.187-07:00You have been to Africa.You are an adventure and y...You have been to Africa.You are an adventure and your lunch was amazing.

But it takes many forms, ranging from agressive egocentrism to painful shyness. I tried in this blog not to sound self-justificatory (what a word!) - for those things I have never seen and done were not done consciously. It would simply never cross my mind to enter a McDonald's or a Starbucks.Woflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215884001340285492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577091962812282559.post-86160897014874668952015-09-09T06:52:44.241-07:002015-09-09T06:52:44.241-07:00"...but on the other hand, Jindra, I have to ..."...but on the other hand, Jindra, I have to confess that I used to vote in elections.<br />But I have been to the rain forest of the southern Central African Republic (twice) - and lunch today was three bunches of 'Strawberry' grapes harvested from the front of my former home, a disc of Rocamadour goat's cheese and a glass of local wine.

But then, you are a poet, too. But, alas, my friend, are you not mired like the rest of us in the worst transgression of our day and time, because it is so close, so often authentic and aware, so often self-justificatory--that is, our own narcissism?Marcus Billsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308066836427766909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577091962812282559.post-73806724597585447232015-09-09T04:39:26.172-07:002015-09-09T04:39:26.172-07:00How I envy you.

You have liked unpopular music (Gustav Mahler should be on that list) and cleared other peoples financial debts when they have been unable to clear their debts without help.
