That's really cute F! It matches the other photo we have of RFK in les montagnes, as we like to say in Strasbourg.

yes, fhc, it would seem that i lashed out at one of your most loyal readers from the british peanut gallery. but fhc's readership, and i daresay fhc himself, will be relieved to hear that max and i have settled our grievances with eachother. after exchanging a few heart-felt message posts on our myspace accounts we have decided that the noble thing to do is look beyond our differences and strive for a more humane coexistence. we're even planning a holiday together in the azores sometime in august. if anyone would kindly forward us some information on nude resorts there, that would be fabulous.

i know you're probably thinking this relationship seems to be moving pretty fast. i'm not gonna lie--it is. but often love is an accelerant which burns even more hotly than jet fuel. no? the only kink we have left to work out is how to enrich the sex lives of two hopeless bottoms. would anyone like to lend a helping hand? or any other body part?

thanks for your concern,
kevin d.

It's hard to know how to remain polite when a private conversation is turned into a public debate by one of the parties. I suppose this is the risk one takes when entering into conversation with people who were raised in the colonies.

After some consultation, I'm led to understand that, once the decision is taken to move debate into the public realm, it's churlish to continue a side conversation in private.

So, here we go...

Kevin, given the conclusions you seem to have drawn from my e-mail, I can only surmise that you have as much difficulty reading English as you do writing it. We are not going to the Azores, for two reasons. Principally, because having only just returned from a week in Madeira, I've exceeded my Atlantic isles quota for the year. Secondary to the quota issue is my inability to vacation with someone who, despite my best efforts, still doesn't grasp the beauty of upper-case letters.

LL, how are you? Well, I trust. I grant you that "emabrking" is not the most appropriate verb to use in connection with "prophecy". Apologies. However, before one starts to pick holes in grammar, one must first clarify context.

Do have a splendid weekend.

"Less criticism of London if you please."
sentence fragment.

and if atlantic islands are no longer in vogue this season, perhaps we should consider cypress. fhc knows of several good nude beaches there.

Do you mean Cyprus? If so, then that's not an option for Kevin and I - my parents spend most of their year between there and Beiruit - a "Max naked on Limassol beach" headline would trigger a stroke for Mother Max.

I'm afraid that Max can only frolic on the most respectable of beaches when on Aphrodite's isle.

in the latest of max's charming retorts, he began a sentece "If so, then that's not an option for Kevin and I [sic]..."

in this sentence our dearest max used "Kevin" and "I" as objects of the prepositon "for." objects of prepositions must take the objective case. "I" is a pronoun in the nominative case. the proper construction of this prepositional phrase would read "for Kevin and me..." as "me" is the appropriate singular first person pronoun in the objective case to use in this instance.
this is meant to be a constructive criticism. max has so kindly offered us so many pointers for communicating in standard English, i felt i could only return the favoUr.

so much love,
kevin d.

I really wish you people weren't that cool !
