In fact, the literal translation of the word "malaria" is "bad opera". Carroll - You mean a posting frenzy, as in 2 posts written on the 4 1/2-hour plane ride home? Yeah, lawns in those midwest towns seem so opulent, even profligate, to us cramped west-coasters.

There's been a veritable posting frenzy since last I peeked. Living in Ca now, I really do miss those beautiful broad lawns and big-leafed deciduous trees. But the mosquitoes? Don't miss those little suckers one bit! And fireflies!! I can't even remember the last time I might have seen a firefly. (sigh) Here's to hometowns the world over -- there's really nothing like 'em :-) Man, I’m wayyyyy behind on your blog here all of a sudden!
