Visiting Paris brings back so many memories. When I was 18 I impressed George Whitman, the legendary proprietor of Shakespeare and Co., by purchasing 10 vols of the complete works of Thomas de Quincey. (A strange kid). He invited me to stay in the store and I moved in.

Ok, I give up. A year or so ago, impressed by your lively resume of felonious moral action & DDay scholarship I exasperatedly asked if you also played shortstop for the Yanks. Now comes this. Well played, sir.
