The Absence of Presence

I have been derelict in my duties, I know, but these past days have been fraught with internet outages, snowfall, visits to mountainside villages, computers not functioning, sporadic internet and the inevitable capacity for work and stress that even the volunteer feels, here in this relatively quiet city. I regret that photographs will have to be posted at a later date because one of the above-mentioned computers is mine. A Rome-side delivery of a power supply will alleviate the problem and then I can attach and recover a bit of blog self-worth.

That all said, I include the above ekphrasisms, days, in the following case, weeks, belated.
