Now she tells me. Out on the beach just now, when that cute young woman walked up to me carrying a handful of colored ribbons and asked me if I wanted to go somewhere with her and help her wrap them around something, I foolishly thought she was talk- ing about wrapping presents, and begged off. < slaps forehead > :-) Happy May Day to one and all. It's a national holiday here in Spain, as it was in France, and so everyone is out at the beach soaking up...uh...the energy of the sun. I presume that any Beltane dances and jump- ing over bonfires will be later in the evening, and that they will yield a bountiful harvest of fun, and perhaps more.
