<DIV>Howard,</DIV>
<DIV>Your brief story is beautiful despite the small bumps in the road. I would really love to see the article and pictures of you and Paolo. The Alchemist has been a personal favorite of mine; I highly recommend...easy read. Do tell more of you and the author's encounter and what was your take on these "road barriers" as they were happening.</DIV>
