Wow, it might be something I really should have a look at, then. I'd love to hear, sometime, about your background in Berlin (and Budapest!); wish we had a way to actually converse! ;) It's very much like that; absurdly tied into issues of TCK bereavment. It's something I want to play out more in the rest of the story I've been working on, actually, although there's great potential for it all to go haywire. ;)
I'm not 'patient' at all! I just enjoy corresponding with you (and - ha! - time management...I am a terrible manager of time, and my priorities are completely out of whack. Hence my near-ubiquity online. ;) )!
