From the south of D.C. between the curves of the Potomac underneath the shade of a Hickory tree, Greetings! I would like to share with you all some points of interest. I am, for now, technically unemployed; that's right, I have remained strong, I'm not working at Ruby Tuesday!
I have been "hired" by my father as a Research Assistant for his upcoming book on Hilaire Belloc. So I basically get paid to research and read Belloc - I'm not complaining.
So far I've read The Way Out and I will be starting First And Last.
Mostly I attend to the visiting of friends and inns and taverns.
Arrivederci,
Peter

What are you reading from Belloc? Is it neato?
Mostly essays. I think you're familiar with his essay on Cheese, of course; most of the fun stuff is already done: Path to Rome, Survivals and New Arrivals, and The Great Heresies. So I'm messing around with
essays and books on historical personages. Oliver Cromwell I've already read, and then there are many many more. Most are neat; I don't get to touch the 1st editions...
Fo shiz. You'd probably like his essay "On Song" a lot, if you haven't gotten around to it.
By the way, no one likes you. At all.
Josh,
That's too strong, like black coffee; if you're going to give it to me straight, I won't be able to handle it. If you want to tell me no one likes me, you have to coat it in whipped cream, Hershey's Syrup, ice, and half and half (oh! and don't forget the straw).
