That poem does everything a poem should: it's evocative, lovely, and apt without wasting words. And yeepers! what a funny love letter! David the golddigger! <BR/><BR/>I had not known of Mielec's high Jewish density, but it's not surprising. Most towns in Galicia had large Jewish populations. Cracow's was almost 30%, but some cities had 75% Jewish populations in the 1910s.<BR/><BR/>Erin notes you have wondered if we plan to come to Poland as a family. I certainly hope so. I may even make to Europe this fall. I just got an invitation to give a talk in Budapest. We'll see if I can make a two-week trip out of it. I'd love to see your house! <BR/><BR/>NathanNathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705342481976864019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-82452205734307760312008-05-26T01:38:00.000+02:002008-05-26T01:38:00.000+02:00I just can't stop thinking about how smart AND swe...I just can't stop thinking about how smart AND sweet your kids are. I still remember how I read when Tyra was a baby that you should never be sarcastic around children because they couldn't understand the humor and irony. So I've always tended to the slap-stick in joking around with my kids from the time they're tiny. I remember talking to you about this over the phone and how you didn't necessarily agree, because you and Greg were both always sarcastic with Evie and David and they seemed to get it quite well, certainly enough to do it themselves. Not that I didn't believe you, but I could never be prepared for little 3 year old Evie and 1 year old David with their fully developed senses of humor that I met that first time you came from Poland! And they still continue to surprise, impress, and delight me (what a dumb word, but it's what I mean, so I guess I'll leave it. Evie could probably think of a better one for me!)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966076533635667017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-11968121170182625672008-05-25T22:29:00.000+02:002008-05-25T22:29:00.000+02:00That is a very lovely poem.

I miss all the fun things you notice and funny things you say, just like the John the Revelator and shiny gardener quotes. You do those like every conversation or so!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966076533635667017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-84357713300306094972008-05-24T23:12:00.000+02:002008-05-24T23:12:00.000+02:00I think Ev is on to something!

I just love to say it!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454832318583154673noreply@blogger.com
