I am not sure if it is the year in Europe or just Vlad's own self,
but I had lunch with him today and he used the word 'lubricious' and described cycling from Germany into France some mornings to buy breakfast eclairs, and mean things were said about Joseph Conrad and self-involved things about self-involvement and Gauloises Blondes were smoked and I'm glad he's back and taking pictures for a thing I'm working on.
