Jeff��Saturday
Last week I posted iPhone photos taken by Barbara (mainly) and me on our three-day jaunt to the magical southern Cycladic island of Naxos, the Cyclades� largest. As I pointed out at the time, technical glitches made it impossible for me to get the photos from Barbara�s �real� camera in time to make it into that post.
Through diligent super-human efforts over this past week, I�ve been able to wrest then away from her camera�before it ran off with her to NYC for August.
I should point out that, Barbara, like most sane people, prefers to avoid Mykonos in August. I, not qualifying as such, thrive here amid the craziness. So much so, that I�m churning out my latest Kaldis novel (#10) at a 3000 words per day pace. With luck�and a bit of inspiration to overcome some anticipated rocky patches (like figuring out who done did it)�I�ll complete a first draft by Monday!

| Every day needs to start off right. |
That intense concentration has me living inside the heads of some pretty nasty characters, which is another reason why I�m posting idyllic photographs instead of the witty, incisive prose and postulations you�ve come to expect from my MIE colleagues. My head�s just not there.
So, please excuse me, and welcome to spending another weekend on Naxos.
The Temple of Dimitra

In case you couldn't tell, Barbara is into doorways.
And I'm into flutes...Native American.
And Naxos!
But now for a shot of the one you truly tuned in to see, my photo bomber!
