Un-anchored from Italy, after a month. I'm in Berlin now, Istanbul on Tuesday, London on the 31, then back toward the U.S. early September.  If any one is in these places at these times, let me know.

(Roman letters will continue, as Rome is now standing in as a set of thoughts and notes of things to be written, things that would have been written but were not because I have been busy looking and meeting and eating and talking and swimming and watching and being on boats and feeling like a boat, and writing is something that is none of these things.)
