We are, indeed (in town), and think that would be a fine idea.  I am making plans to go to Havana for a fortnight in August but that is still in the veremos.  After a summer in Connecticut missing Washington became aware how much I enjoy this city--and our garden apartment.  Eso se llama aburguesamiento.  Speaking of which, I had a wonderful trip to Argentina last month, revisiting mi viejo colegio, y algunos sobrevivientes de mis viejas amistades.  Made the trip in connection with the reopening of the Teatro Colon, my synagogue.  But even more memorable was a three-day visit to Montevideo; while everybody in BA continued to enjoy the national sport of complaining vociferously about everything, the Uruguayans seem to be happy as clams.  Food is good, work is abundant, concerts at El Sodre continue to be packed........Let's do get together.

Abrazos,
