‘Quem amava as estrelas
está para sempre no céu’

Who loved stars and
now is among them

rest in peace to a fellow star brother

hell of a name too

(translating the portuguese, the phrasing is slightly different and perhaps even more beautiful: The one who loved the stars is forever in the sky.)

we went to surrogate little sister isabel’s play the other night . . . she was so good! i’m proud of her!! and so are russ and gego . . .

midnight in berlin and i recall the words of the old master:

just when you think the world’s a joke . . . the joke’s on you
