Have just talked to Ciro; he is safely in Boston and being fed and margaritaed by my parents. His theory is that this whole bit was a revenge for some UK passengers being stopped at JFK airport a few weeks back, as they kept trying to lecture him about racism in the US. It's also pretty clear that the immigration officer lied to at least one of us, and probably both of us, a couple of times - said opposite things.

Ciro has of course had an awful and exhausting day, which he has weathered admirably; that story is really his to tell, but know at least that he's not, for instance, rending clothes, weeping uncontrollably, prostrating himself on the floor, etc. No raging; just that kind of quiet, tired, oddly cheerful "oh, the universe." I doubt any plan will be worked out for a few days; we'll need time to think, and probe, and form opinions.

We're both fine.

So the government own the gas companies? Thats news to me. Factually wrong on many counts but nonetheless amusing.

Hmmm - I'd been led to believe they did, but clearly the person I was talking to, though a native Brit, had no idea what he was talking about. Of course, he idolizes communism, so perhaps it was more wishful thinking on his part. LOL.

Something I'd like to thank you for, if I haven't already, is the fact that you tend to be very thorough in your answers and explanations; I always learn a lot when talking to you. I hope the students at your school appreciate it. You're a good guy to have around.

Hope work on the documentary is going well - I look forward to seeing it when it's finished (or even in a rough draft stage). Some really beautiful shots in there.

Cheers,
Romie
