All in the Family

In the Circus of Becoming
it all starts with a spark
once below a time
set fire to the stars

Over the Eternal City
Somewhere between
The hills and columns
And the carcass of Rome
Alone but close to spirit
Sitting Bull says there is more

-Steve Hackett

Teaching: getting easier
El Dude's Spanish: getting better
Weather: sunnier, warmer
Madrid: wackier than ever
Stuart not cleaning or ever buying anything: getting more annoying

Well, I mentioned that Sydney's family came to visit. Don't know if
mentioned her dad got his wallet stolen? Silly him - had it in his back
pocket. Why do people never listen to us expats?

But the craziest craic of all is this:

Sydney likes this guy Scott from Philly, and he seems to like her.
However, his buddy Dave REALLY liked Sydney (unrequitted), so
he's never acted on anything. He's a friendly guy but every time I see him he's hammered, so
he doesn't always exercise the best judgement. However, hooking up
with Sydney's sister, Attalie, while she was here, can only qualify as
criminal stupidity. And her sister knew she liked him! Whew! Families
play by different rules in Texas, I guess. That's so fucked up. Makes
me feel downright regular.

Who's Your Daddy?

Dear El Dude,

I know that Darth had at least one meeting with C. Everett Coop from her hearing health days. Perchance the former surgeon general is the baby's father?
