Eléni’s First Visit - Part 12
This is the twelfth and last part of the tale, unless Goddess Athena asks me to write more. But she will not given the freedom that she affords me in all matters both literary and real. All eleven previous parts, linked at the bottom through Part 11, are a must to fully follow and comprehend this love affair between the real ((giggles)) and the unreal ((giggles)). Each other part requires around five minutes of your time, but this one will require more. More, I tell you, more! Anthi Psomiadou and R Tsambounieri Talarantas had graciously agreed to appear as fictional characters in this first visit of Eléni to Athens, where she had hoped beyond scientific reason to speak to Goddess Athena and find the missing Patrick. The story spans her two-week visit to ‘tis-blue and ‘tis-white Greece. Athena mia! At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. Plato

Answers to Too Many Questions
Lovable Terry Mansfield tagged all those involved in this too-many-questions survey, which as he mentioned, you can also undertake if you have whatever it takes, you know, time, space, and those inherent unknowns that are often out of place. Let’s start then at the beginning to get to the end!

Love Analyzed
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. Nietzsche “I sometimes think that love is a dirty word and much dirtier than pussy, for example. All we need is love. I don’t think as much anymore. All we need is the silence of a kind breeze, the shade of a happy tree, the sight of a blue sky, the knowledge that the Sun is still there at night, sending its rays of life and death. Love is already in the fabric of these moments and there’s no need to extract it and give it even more meaning when it simply doesn’t merit it.”

Eléni’s First Visit - Part 11
This is the eleventh part of the tale. There will be twelve parts unless Goddess Athena necessitates more. All ten previous parts, linked at the bottom through Part 10, are necessary to fully follow this ongoing romance between the real and the possibly real. Each part requires around five minutes of your time. Anthi Psomiadou and R Tsambounieri Talarantas had graciously agreed to appear as fictional characters in this first visit of Eléni to Athens, where she had hoped to speak to Goddess Athena and find the missing Patrick. The story spans her two-week visit to blue-sky-and-seas and white-independence Greece. Alcohol makes other people less tedious, and food less bland, and can help provide what the Greeks called entheos, or the slight buzz of inspiration when reading or writing. Christopher Hitchens (I still miss him to no end)

Eléni’s First Visit - Part 10
This is the tenth part of the tale. There will be twelve parts or perhaps more. It seems to depend on Goddess Athena, after all. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth parts are all necessary to fully follow this ongoing saga, with each part only requiring around five minutes of your time. Anthi Psomiadou and R Tsambounieri Talarantas had both graciously agreed to appear as fictional characters in this first visit of Eléni to Greece, where she had hoped to speak to Goddess Athena and find the missing Patrick. The story spans her two-week visit to blue-heaven-and-white-texture Greece. Let there be light! said Liberty, and like the sunrise from the sea, Athens arose! Percy Bysshe Shelley
