We got home on 9th and it's nice to be back, though we had a good time in spite of the poor snow. In Klosters the social life is always more important than the slopes and this year it was livelier than ever.
We saw many of our French and English friends and made some new friends among the well-heeled crowd at the Alpina. Happily, there were fewer Arabs than usual but we got very tired of the flashy Russians and worst of all there was a bunch of loud-mouthed Texans who were telling everyone that the way to solve the world's problems was to nuke Iran, and give the Marines a free hand throughout the Middle East to shoot all the Moslems they could find! Tash asked one of them if that included all their women and children, and he said "Sure, if they help their men kill ours!". After that we kept well away from the idiots.
It's good to be get back and realise that only a small minority of our countrymen are as stupid and ignorant as that.

Edward Cabot Ames III
Location: Boston, Mass, US
Leading a very happy and busy life in the home of the bean and the cod. Perhaps the only male within 30 miles to whom the fortunes of the Red Sox are a matter of complete indifference. Unfortunately my partner Nastasia takes an interest in them but I think it's only their thighs she admires. We spend about four months of the year in Europe - Switzerland and France mostly. I am really serious about getting a job some time soon. But I aim to be in the America's Cup Team before I am 30.
