Ive seen the GPH 62 times, mainly because the cod piece on “Boy with Apple” keeps drawing me back, had only I lived in the 16th century, but alas. or should I say A LAD, enough of the beautiful boy on the cusp of manhood, my point…. YES there is one…. The Historical page on the Republik of Z …..either unfinished or the Socialist regime which seized power after the Communist “freely elected” Gov took power after “liberation” by Stalin. Sadly the detailed and cultured history of such a beautiful former portion of a long gone Dual Monarchy and amazing creativity of a brilliant man was not available. …… I suppose I will just order a patisserie from Herr Mendl’s which thankfully his families amazing pastries were enough to avoid the GREAT TERROR and Zubrov Arbeit Macht Frie work camps in the 40s.
Typing at 2am after several glasses of Grey Goose and misplacing my glasses, if only I had the blessing of an anticipating yet stonewall unseen lobby boy…. I meant I have watched the GBH ( not GPH where the f….ing P came from I can only attribute to Vicodin, Unable to EDIT my post I found it necessary to reply to myself…. but that’s an entirely normal thing at my stage in life.
