Returning to Athens...

Utterly annoying when I lose a long post -- especially when it's my first post after quite a while....

Here's the abbreviated version of the post I lost: Tomorrow I'm leaving Samos and returning to Athens for a week or so of leave... Will be going by ship so it'll be a 12-hour journey.

Am not sure what my level of internet access will be in Athens -- but I'll probably get the chance to post more, since I'll have free time enough to *write* more. Also many apologies to my friends for not maintaining more regular communications while here in Samos -- to my defense, Internet access here has been less available than I'd have liked and otherwise problematic...

More things concerning books I recently read and such will have to wait for another post: Too tired right now to rewrite them.
