Nostalgia
The July 21, 2006 entry presents my curriculum vita. There you will learn that I graduated from Pawtropolis.
What you may not know is that I took a summer session at Oxford University, Jesus College.
Now, as the weather begins to cool, I think of that brilliant Oxford summer: the intellectual stimulation, the fascinating history of the town & of Jesus College, the diversity of experiences, and yes, the ever changing, always lovely weather. Trips to London, to the Cotswolds villages, to heritage sites, and more. How I long to walk again the nooks & crannies, to find the unexpected used book store or charity shop. How I value the small mementos with which I returned.
I have visited England several times and accompanied Mama to Paris & Versailles. But it is that summer at Jesus College that remains a cornerstone of the best times of my life.
I can wish nothing better for you, my loyal friends & fans, the opportunity to visit England and, if possible, to study in Oxford.

Dear Mercury
I really enjoyed from your intimate entry, Nostalgia. I have some wishfull desires in past times, too, which related to natural areas, such as Mountain peaks, jungles or some anthropologic experiences. I think, this kind of desires help us to continue our life, based on our favorite moments of the past. I hope you achieve to all of your wishes and desires.
