On Saturday, my house was invaded by DR1ers! Carl Holmes, and his son Carlos were here for a while, before talking off to a hotel and then to Sosua. Carl is doing really well, and his boy is at a baseball school near the capital and will be looking for a college scholarship in the Spring. It had been a while (like maybe 18 years???) since we were last together...
Then the "real"invasion started: Berzin, Bronxboy and SantiagoDR all showed up. It was great to catch up, and Berzin truly out did himself. He brought down a couple of highly prized books (no idea how he managed to get them!!) that will immediately be used in classes I am teaching and will teach (Lord willin' )in the summer. Plus some Earl Gray tea and a T-shirt of the Mets.....All I could return was a wonderful cigar to Bronxboy....which I hope he enjoys....(Yes there was some beer shared around but not that much!)...Since the Hovel is just about sold, this could well be the last visit for DR1ers here.
Cordially,
HB
