Moving on.

September 12, Harvard.

Visits always give pleasure - if not the arrival, the departure (Portuguese proverb.)

The end of the day.

September 10, Elmhurst.

Suddenly the days are shorter, it is night during the second show, and cool enough for a jacket.
Suddenly the end of the circus road is near, you feel the season has gone by in a wave, movie rushes, punctuated by flashes of memory - the kids at the hospital, the beach, friends' accolades.
September and another summer gone by.
