I met a similar, slightly older ex-military American man last year. <br /><br />I am in London and missing the running, so I found myself trawling images and stories on the web until I found this. I ran last year - twice - as part of research for my book 'Into The Arena' which is about my year in Spain last year with the current crop of matadors and breeders (It comes out in February). Your grandfather's shadow is ridiculously long in this world. Most of my friends speak of him as their grandparents knew him - Eduardo Miura, Samuel Flores, Cayetano Rivera Ordonez etc. Anyway, I thought I should drop you a note. I myself am training to kill a novillo for the final chapter of my book... do swing by my blog, The Last Arena.

The police try to weed out the worst of them, but I'm sure they don't get all of them. The one who died on the 10th of July wasn't drunk though.<br /><br />abs.<br />JohnJohn Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835706404432796187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604290631102816106.post-42896957606707116202009-07-21T15:20:13.803-05:002009-07-21T15:20:13.803-05:00John: a suggestion for a new comment: Andrew on th...John: a suggestion for a new comment: Andrew on the isles in the stream and Gregory.Laurenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108401082543244885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604290631102816106.post-58150808177097478472009-07-21T15:19:13.957-05:002009-07-21T15:19:13.957-05:00Hi, John.
