Hi Gabe,
I looked on youtube for you name, so I could see you dancing,but I think maybe I haven't spent enough time on youtube to feel like I know my way around. Send me a link if your up for sharing? I didn't end up at the opera, or even in Leipzig, but I did see the Alps and some dear old friends, and a prison, and a baroque creche with humongous and sort of ominously ornate angels. Right now I'm making lots of soups and roasted veggies. Also short fiction and one long piece that you'd probably recognize bits from my first summer at _____. Draft four in the works hoping to have draft five by March.
What are you cooking these days?
