in any case i wish he will get back soon to settle that delicious <br/>

<br/>
indeed i am still not sure it is even there<br/>
unsure enough to wonder if that isnt catalan rather than spanish<br/>
& if catalan doesnt drop its spots when it is written in full caps <br/>
as french sometimes tends to do<br/>
or keeps them up like spanish & portuguese<br/>

now where is peter smaardijk when we really need him too<br/>
<br/>
in fact where is almost everyone lately<br/>

it reminds me of a christmas party i once attended in lima<br/>
where we were playing a game the object of which was to retire <br/>
members of the rival team by making them laugh<br/>
<br/>
the contest was fierce because eventually everyone was in <br/>
stitches except for one deadpan holdout on each side<br/>
& my spanish was notoriously bad<br/>
so i was finally able to crack the last opponent up by wishing him <br/>
a litany of bungled seasonal greetings<br/>
concluding with<br/>
y un feliz nuevo ano</div>
