I had an ill-omened dream about you last night, Jim. I hope you're OK.

Yeah, I'm good (touch wood). Just back in Mumbai from a visit to Switzerland and Spain. Took Mira and Jai to Barcelona for Spanish and soccer courses respectively. It was great to re-discover Barcelona after 30+ years and to share it with Indi, Mira, and Jai. Was pleased that Mira and Jai found it "cool". Discovered a poet that I like a lot: Jaime Gil de Riedma. Do you know him? Also saw Nick Lowe in concert there, with Ry and son Joachim Cooder. It was of course terrific. He was great and funny and gracious, and they were great together. I do appreciate your dreaming of me and the warning. Will watch out for falling anvils and pianos. Often think of how to arrange next summer's visit to your locale.
Also, ref cookbook posting, I remember the cake as Chocolate Cock Cake. Have a Polaroid somewhere in archives.
