That was also a fun conversation when I told him what his name means in English.

Fascinating, but sad, how city life decreases life expectancy.

I've been a reader ever since Joanna posted about your blog on Cup of Jo, and I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoy these posts. You lead such fascinating lives with your families, and I love hearing about both your day to day and the lives of those around you.
