You live a far more active social life than I do. But then, I'm extremely introverted, and even more importantly I have B. as well as two cats at home to keep me company. That really does make a huge difference.

Ah yes, uncropped views. There are some things you rarely see in photographs. When I got to Florence, I walked around Michelangelo's David to look at his back, and realized that, though there must be some, I'd never seen a photo of the back. Ever.
