Postcard From Bobby Baby (2)
Got a postcard from my brother Robert, today.
Yup, he’s in Venice.
Make that was — by now, he must be
back home in Belgium.
I told you about him last year — he had sent me a postcard from Camargue, in France.
And I bet this short escapade to Italy won’t be his only trip, this year; I’m sure he’ll be on the road again for his summer vacation. Because that’s how great it is to live in Europe: you’re only a hop, skip, and a jump away from a myriad of fascinating places.
Here’s what he wrote (in case you’re confused, “Mudd Lavoie”
is my real name — “Oza Meilleur” is my alter ego):
Hi Mudd,
France and I decided to take a 4-day break in Venice.
It’s a place to see, but only once. I’ll tell you about it.Big kisses
If he hasn’t phoned by tomorrow 3:00 pm — which is 9:00 pm in Belgium — I’m going to call him. I can’t wait to hear what he thought of Venice and why he recommends going there only once. Hmmm…
You can’t imagine how happy it makes me to receive a postcard from my brother; I haven’t seen him since February 2004 when he came to Montreal and a whole bunch of us got together to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Yeah, I miss him a lot — he’s such a CRRRRazy guy. I have his photo up on the wall, in my office; when I’m at the computer, I often stop to look at him…
He’s sitting on a terrace, in Portugal,
drinking a nice cold Carlsberg.
Hey Bobby Baby… I love you.
COME SEE YOUR SISTA!
