Read this to forget about the recession.

No, not Behind the Bedroom Door, though it would be nice if you'd buy and read that, too. I'm talking about this, which puts me in mind of my favorite Roman trattoria, in the Jewish ghetto, under the ruins of an ancient Roman temple, pictured below.

Dreaming of the beach...those languid, sunny days are getting closer.

Scenes from Pt. Reyes seashore, my post-Cali-book-tour vacay.
