“It is madness beyond compare to try to reform the world,” said Molière.

But vast hordes of our earth-mates are hard at it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Who cares?

Here in Greece I am shamefully without concern.

Let me give you a taste of life on an island,

and of the irreducible simplicities that can beguile you when you’re lounging on a beach.

More such fripperies are here, if they please you.

And in case you’re wondering what Greece is like these days, Toby will guide you around.

If I may be ironic for a moment, kalo himona—have a good winter.

O Robertos
