The last time I came to Greece--twenty years ago--I knew exactly one person in all of Athens. I bumped into him crossing the street. He was kind enough to take us to lunch out at Piraeus. In those days I wore a big old straw hat, but when I got back to the hotel, the hat was not with me.
This year I came back optimistic that I would run into him again crossing the street, and that he would have my hat.
I have now departed from Athens. No dice. But who knows, maybe he will show up in Thessaloniki.

I will be in Greece in a couple of weeks for a conference. The financial and now government situation is worrying. What is your sense of the situation on the ground?
Next time you are in Cuiaba, see if you don't find a 7 7/8 straw that was bought in San Antonio.
I don't have anything interesting to say about the Brazilian economy either.
