They say good things come in threes.

MEMO TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS OF THE WEEKLY HUBRIS: WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL MASS MEDIA SKULLDUGGERY HAS GONE THE WAY OF YORICK!
Annie,
I'm glad my little clipping brought back pleasant memories of Hellas. As for you, Mr. Michaelian, when was the last time you got close to any barber, let alone one as staccato scissoring as Nick the Greek? And speaking of Greeks, Conrad, I never knew you'd paid homage to Kazantzakis by visiting his grave. I've never been there shame!) but I've seen pictures of his grave--as simple as the man was complex, and am reminded of the time my wife and I visited the grave of the wonderful poet and songwriter Nikos Gatsosin Asea, Arcadia. Nothing but a plain wooden cross and a plain marble plaque marking the final resting place of a great man.
Sounds fascinating. Where do I pay?

ReplyDeleteWonderful — but as much as I admire his shop, no way am I getting close to Nick the barber.
ReplyDeleteVassilis,
ReplyDeletelove the poem and Kazantzakis quote! I once visited his beloved Crete & his grave in Iraklion.
"Weekly Hubris" is my kind of magazine!
