I wanted to send a few lines, on this, an otherwise common night that will mean so much to us in the time to come.  What a simple, even lazy Sunday we spent together, with one respect.  How could I know, only six months ago, I would be endeavoring soon on a humid evening that would lead to the chilly now.  We have been in a retro mood since returning to St. Louis, drained of our trip, to be energized of multiple small, shared Mediterranian courses followed by a big plate of bloody Taratino spaghetti.  Today’s adding of events also causes a remembering and retreating to the past memories of warm Delmar Loop adventures and cozy, insular protections after bitter blown days.
