The Last Hurrah

This week, I said goodbye to my two best friends.

Natty Nevada, a troubadour, left yesterday to serenade the Western United States, from Portland to Santa Fe, armed with an acoustic guitar and a robust beard.  I expect many hearts will be broken.



Baron von Ririe, a courtier, departed this morning to charm all levels of German society, from the homeliest peasant to the dandiest aristocrat.  His straightforward advances coupled with his backhanded wit form a potent combination.

Bon Voyage, Amigos.
