Dear Penelope,
Just got out of a fantastic dinner with Charles. Had a delicious duck breast with a honey lemongrass glaze and terrific round tasting of various wines that Charles selected for us. He knows his wines. He gave the conosseiur explanations of each of the wines filling in what the waiter failed to mention. He doesn't write for Wine Tasting Magazine cause he drank a couple bottles in college. He's studied and travelled tasting wines. Said he was planning to purchase a vineyard in Arizona in the near future. There's a nice plot of land he's been eyeing. I offered my feet for a couple early morning stompings if he needed it. I told him of my interest's to pursue my own artwork again and find a market for it. He told me it was my nihilistic attitude toward the world that disenabled me from really taking advantage of my talent and letting the world see my work. I had to admit he was right.
I met with the friendly curatorial staff of Oriental Antiques at the Louvre today; Nancy, Binod, and Samir, showed me their as of now secret private collection of newly acquired alabaster figures and my jaw must have dropped to the floor, Pen I tell you, I haven't seen anything this beautiful since I last saw your face. These were something to behold. Genuine 4th century Babylonian figures from the decorative Hellenistic style. Gold inlayed into the eyes and designed necklace. They were priceless. We were all so excited to have come across these ancient artifacts. Tommorrow I get a guided grand tour of Etruscan period treaures. I'm practically salivating over the thought of seeing some Cimabue and Giotto up close, special.
All my love,
Odysseus
