In the mid-90's, our local PBS pledge drives featured an elaborately-staged production by the New Age musician, Yanni. The music was a little bland, but the production title, Yanni - Live at the Acropolis, was like a lightning bolt to my imagination, and it took little time before we referred to it as Yawning - Live at the Acropolis. Time went on and the production lost allure, however, and we might have forgotten about it if it hadn't been for our dear friends, Pat and Johnny, who took a Mediterranean cruise to catch a solar eclipse. When they asked if we wanted anything from the exotic east, I didn't hesitate. "Yeah, I want a photo of you two. Yawning. Live at the Acropolis." Explanations followed along with some mild exclamations of mirth, and they assured us they would, memory keeping its charge. Unfortunately, they overlooked it when they walked in the footsteps of Socrates and Aristotle and brought no such image home. So... Next time you're in the region and you just happen to remember, we'll both be eternally grateful. If not, it is of no moment. Best wishes to you both and all the family!
