“I wonder if you practice this pose?”
My BritBud Jaine asked me that after snapping this photo of a poet’s bust in her local park. She’s evidently suggesting that this is the impression that I leave with others? (Those English classes are wisenheimers, I tell ya.)
Anyway, the poet in question is Honorat de Bueil de Racan. (Don’t ask me to pronounce that.) The bust is located at the Jardin des Prebendes park in France. (My buddy lives near there now.)

Throwback Thursday: more Longwood High School shenanigans (1988-1990)!
Long Island, New York. Here are a few more photos of Longwood High School and its students, courtesy of our unofficial class archivist, the indispensable Carrie Schor. These would be shots of the International Student Organization, between 1988 and 1990.
I miss skinny 1980’s ties.
Thanks again, Carrie! 🙂
