"The devil himself lights the street lamps only in order to show that everything is not really as it seems." Gogol
"The gloomiest city in the world." Dostoevskii
but, on a better note.....
"We provincials somehow turn our steps toward St. Petersburg. It is as if St. Petersburg, all by itself, with its name, its streets, its fog, rain, and snow could resolve something or shed new light on something!"
Saltykov-Shchedrin
Ikes!... how can a mere baker keep up with this intellectualism?!!!
Beautiful writing that makes your experiences leap right up off the page & come to life. I LOVE your stories & they're that much more colorful for the misery of it all!
Sukha has a blog too now, for him & Naomi in Europe & later him in India... he's much more sparse than you are but these are such fun to read! it's worobs.blogspot.com.
We love you! Baker Shelly & Co.
Thanks Auntie Shelly!
That's so cool that Sukha and Naomi are in France right now. I hope they're having a great time.
Much love to all the Worobs!
