We head back to Stockholm on Sunday, suitcases bulging with laundry and wonderful books about Irish and Galician history. Frank is working much harder than I am here, though of course any writer is always "working" on research--I'm sure that's what Hemingway thought he was doing while slugging down vats of the strong stuff in Harry's Bar.

Anybody who decides to get out of boring Sweden (especially in the fall) scores big with me! Let me tell you, I'd trade Spain (anywhere in Spain) for Stockholm any day. :) Hey, Montauk, “fault her”?

I've known this author for many a year, and she does not "avoid boring people." She does, however, magnetically attract very interesting people. Right now the author and her husband are working. Do not fault them that their work calls upon them to travel.
