The baldie is fled, long live the baldie!
The business (basically a CRM database) passed into better hands in 2012. These materials remain here for cannibalisation and amusement.
The baldie meanwhile has found pastures new: as a singing organ-grinder for your event in the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Spain!

Excellent mashup of the visible and the invisible on the Appian way
Robert Kaster & spouse did this, and much, much more, and the resulting book - thanks tender sender! - is thoroughly recommended. (And don't worry: seasoned jaywalkers won't find the first bit anything like as frightening as they did: they're drivers rather than walkers, and I'll bet a really pedantic researcher could dig out something about the dangers of cart traffic in second century Rome.) Recently I also enjoyed the adventures in the Callixtine catacombs (From the oak to the olive, 1868) of Julia Ward Howe - progressive at home, tomb-raider abroad - and Skateboarding on the Appian Way has got to be good.
