It’s so great living in Rhode Island and enjoying the closeness of my wonderful family. Yes, SJ and family are thousands of miles away in Tokyo but they seem to have created a good life. The USA is semi-Nazi with absurd medical and education costs. However, HG/BSK continue to live in that flawed country with gifted daughter Lesley R. and her husband, Massimo, in the nearby town of Riverside (spectacular views of the Providence River and Narragansett Bay). Beautiful, brilliant granddaughter, Sofia, has arrived from Italy and equally extraordinary granddaughter Arianna (with special friend, Adam, are on their way from Colorado (stormy weather permitting). So, this looks like a jolly Christmas celebration–fun, feasting, abundant presents. Meanwhile, Lesley, Massimo and Sofia, joined HG/BSK for a magnificent family dinner at the candle lit dining table in HG/BSK’s wondrous loft. BSK scored. Pot of pork and green chili stew (best HG ever tasted–tops anything in Santa Fe eateries). Local guacamole, pico de gallo, tortillas. All superlatively tasty. Cold beer. Fruity red wine. Life doesn’t get much better than this.
