That is a rather long reply. I understand a professional writer has to keep in practice quantity on a deadline. Hope your move back to Paris went without much trouble. I think I would finding moving to another country rather daunting. But I am sort of a stick-in-the-mud sort of guy when it comes to travel; a magnesium flare has to be lit under my ass to get me moving. If you want to make a keyboard for Robin, leaving out the combinations 'space' 'm' 'e' 'space' and 'space' 'm' 'y' 'space' might also be helpful, otherwise he might go Tonto on us. Me sign off now.
