\"New<\/a><\/dt>\n
Mrs. Stevo, Spring Festival 2007.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
\nKhalil Gibran<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The simple lack of her is more to me than others’ presence.
\nEdward Thomas<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.
\nFrancois de la Rouchefoucauld<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Absence from those we love is self from self – a deadly banishment.
\nWilliam Shakespeare
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, I’m feeling lonely. A shroud of melancholy surrounds me. Pathetic, I know. It’s a sad state of affairs for The Stevo.<\/p>\n

An absent wife, grey days and the rains, exhaustion, and boredom. The life of an expat often “Sucks balls” (Even Cartman can’t make me laugh).<\/p>\n

I think I’ll spend the weekend listen to The Cure and eating French fries, or maybe poutine since I have 5 pounds of cheese in my fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
