Greetings from Tbilisi

Beltrano sends his greetings to the faithful readers and followers of this "blog."

He asks us to relay the following message:

"Dear Friends:

Greetings from Tbilisi! The temperature here is about 60F, and the leaves are changing color. At the same time, I can feel the miasma, arising from the change from hot to cold weather, and from the exhalations from all the old tombs.

Next Wednesday, I am to give a presentation here at the Erovnuli Xelnac'erta C'entri (National Centre of Manuscripts), revealing the results of more than a year of careful study and research and associating my name with certain important discoveries. Since some of these have been leaked, this will preclude the possibility of someone else fraudulently taking credit for my work!

The picture to the right was taken in the citadel at Gremi, just minutes before I fell and broke a rib. Now that's a lesson in life, is it not?!

Conservatemi il vuostro buon genio, e vivete felice!

BELTRANO"

And that is all he has to say, for the moment.

For Ottavio Beltrano, this is OLD HAT
