I missed Mundial games again to go and meet with my buddy from Cambridge, MA, Dr Paul Rajcock, a naturopathic physician. He's seen in this photo in front of the Madison Building of the Library of Congress on Independence Avenue.
(I don't even know how the layout of this post will be as I'm experimenting posting via email! So my apologies if the post turns out to be ugly.)
Paul is a die-hard die-hard Walt Whitman scholar. Thus, despite being on vacation with his family (they've also been college-hopping for their son), Paul was today in the bowels of the Library of Congress handling Paul Whitman's manuscripts.
We had lunch at a nice Thai restaurant by the Capitol South metro station. Well, "we" are from Boston and thank God Samuel Adams beer was available: 4 Sams between the two of us.
Paul has been definitely scrutinizing manuscripts for a long time. He noticed immediately that the menu of the Thai restaurant spelled Samuel of Sam Adams as "Samual"...
Paul also gave me an invaluable present: a book by French philosopher REGIS DEBRAY entitled "God: An Itinerary" and translated by Jeffrey Mehlman. I happen to know both author and translator!
I'm sending this post now. Hoping it won't be disastrous...

UPDATE BY PC:
1) I learned that I first have to rename pictures on my phone before attempting to attach them to my email. The original picture of this post was a street scene of Washington DC.
2) There is no way of adding labels to a post when sent via email. I'm adding a label here after the fact.
3) I also couldn't find a way of adding links.
4) I misspelled the name of my buddy's name: it's Paul RAJCOK.
Blogging by mobile phone is definitely fun, despite its limitations. It could also be hand if you happen to be in the boondocks!
