[Louis I. Kahn arrived late last night. He spent most of the 30th anniversary of his death yesterday in Ireland, with St. Patrick actually. He and Catherine are already busy composing their paper, but he hasn't guessed Franziska's guest yet. Maria, Melania (the younger), and Piranesi are designing a game for all to play--delineate an aftermathic reenactment of the first Visigothic plunder of the Horti Salustiani. Otto's posted Duchamp's and Jennewein's "Nudist Camp" survey so far.
Theodosius was Spanish.
Honorius worried about his Spanish relatives under Constantine the usurper (and with good reason because they were killed before he knew it).
Their Spanish heritage (along with their same age, disposition, and wealth) was a bond between Maria and the younger Melania--a bond to the very last day (whenever that is).
