Greek poet Siarita Kouka just phoned to wish me a happy name day...
...in Greece they celebrate namedays rather than birthdays...

yamas agios yanni...

by the way this photo was taken by Brandon Brown on a water taxi just outside Porto "hella beat" helli (pronounced hyelli)...

check out some of my translations of Siarita's poetry in Sliding Uteri (from her book Arotho)...
