Dear Paul,
What a pleasure to awake this morning in our rented cottage in DC, pour two cups of coffee and settle into the two beige rocking recliners in the living room, open up a copy of the Peninsula to see your face. Ah, Smurf bowls. What we are missing by not being there in Poland with you! I thought it considerate to point out to you as well that in your quest for assimilation into Polish culture, you have apparently lost track of proper English grammar: it's, "my hen and I," not, "me and my hen."
The autumn colors are beautiful. Played a round of horseshoes in a clearing surrounded by pines, conifers, grasses. Neither of us wants to leave; we're having such a good time. Greg's on holiday for ten days. It's a welcome and needed retreat for both of us. I think I'll marry this guy someday if I don't lose him in the woods. I'm quite fond of this northern lad friend of yours.
Had a few beers at the AC Tap on your behalf last night after dinner at La Puerta. No matter how far you roam, my friend, you have never truly left this place.
Bought a puzzle, game of Mancala and some cards, have a bottle of Pert Plus - we're all set for one more night around the fire. A few words - "work", "County", "Clare" - have been banned from our vocabulary for this brief respite, replaced by more interesting ones like, "STEEL... GRID... DECK...!"
Hope this finds all clucky with you.
Pabst Blue Ribbon, sausages, meat spreads I can't even pronounce, greetings and salutations, northern loons and all their loonyness, a Weber grill, stray ping pong balls, and all the friendship from here to Krakow,
Love and well wishes,
The Stephke Collective
