may not find this tangibly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go. Click

the snow comes

A
visit to Kristin's old hangouts in Rome, Italy, in November 2006, to see all the

Alison
has gone off from the Harvard-Smithsonian Submillimetre Array on Mauna Kea, Hawaii,
and moved to Santiago, Chile, god bless her, to work on the installation of the
Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at 5,000m in the Andes, being built by the
European Southern Observatory, an intergovernmental European organization for
astronomical research. (The photo is an artist's conception of how it will look
when completed.)

Unless
something really awful should happen (like Cheney suddenly deciding that Switzerland might make an easier target than Iran), we
should have more poignant moments to post here soon, with Mercedes finishing up
her PhD in linguistics at Fribourg in early June, Marlowe coming for a visit in
late June and early July, Kristin coming over for most of July and some long weekends
at rustic retreats in the Alps already booked, and very likely some extended vacation
time with Kristin in September.
