I am STILL plugging away at a very detailed biography of Goethe, maybe I’ll never finish, who knows. I had Friday the 13th off and in the morning read about the writer/philosopher ditching a Prussian government service job to bum around Italy, dropping in on different friends or as he called them, “Beloveds.”
Let’s say that’s what I did this weekend, too.

The weekend rained and rained. But that did not stop our group from enjoying a Greek Festival:

His request was a NYC day of feasting … can do! And the sun came out, eventually.
