A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Having lived with a Romanian for years, I can assure you that she never tires of watching the Ceausescus' execution. In fact, she watches as she dances the Hokey Cokey.
