As for Madrid....so far we are not impressed and that is putting it mildly. This place is like those dreams where, try as you might, you cannot escape the webbing. You spend the night fighting your way forward only to find that you are where you began but now you are also exhausted and it is morning. Lisbon has a lot more going for it and, the fact is, you could not pay Lisbon to live in Spain.asha https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624209187109099166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752461.post-82063868930910825492015-06-08T07:31:39.614-07:002015-06-08T07:31:39.614-07:00Was not Hemingway the father of the Usenet model f...Was not Hemingway the father of the Usenet model for testosterone soaked male writers who "pound out" novels on old typewriters in between macho pursuits and generally wallowing in a state of knowing everything? <br /><br />I gave up on modeling myself after him when I discovered my Dickensian love of run-on sentences, along with my woeful ignorance, (which the run-on sentences tended to hide.) <br /><br />Ahhh. I do know that Madrid is in Spain, unlike Lisbon! Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374537094067415065noreply@blogger.com
