It's incredible what can happen in four years. Just a quick “many happy returns” to what sounds like a lovely beginning.

I don't know which pictures of me you're talking about, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised to learn that such things are inherited, even down to the smallest gestures. The trouble is, those who have the hardest time seeing it tend to be the people concerned. For example, I can clearly see <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/isogloss/1049407286/" rel="nofollow">in this picture here</a> how much <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/isogloss/1048569317/" rel="nofollow">Alek resembles his maternal grandmother</a>, but no one else from that side of the family could see it, and I was shouted down and wrestled to the ground before I could convince them. Jean: our medium-to-long-term plans remain uncertain, but we're not going anywhere immediately. Interesting comment, Darko.

I know you may explain it as a normal pose to take when one is slowly engaging in the act of swimming in cold water. But I see this photo as evidence that body posture is an inherited thing. He looks exactly like you in that "I'd prefer to flap my wings and fly but I'll settle for a slow shuffle for now" pose you've struck (or been caught striking) in pics of yourself. Am I anywhere close? From the pictures you’ve posted of yourself and of Adam, a composite mental image of the two of you is being formed in my head.

I'm not as conscientious as you about marking the anniversary--in principle I try to make a pilgrimage there every year sometime during the last week of July, but in practice it happens about once every four or five years. (I get to Bohinj more frequently than that--usually by means of the avtovlak--but not in late July). So are you guys sticking around these parts a while longer? We still have the camera, let us know if/when you want it back.

I can see how it'd be easy to hide a body there. A place with options is always a place to re-visit. Congrats for Anniversary #4 aren't due until mid-November, right? What a beautiful place.
