I just copied and emailed this to myself. Sure, I love short stories and anthologies. I just had to do a report in Spanish about a Spanish artist, and I chose Cervantes after which I was thinking of re-reading Don Quixote. Did you know, it was Cervantes who said among many other wondrous quotes: Forewarned is forearmed, Honesty is the best policy; All that glistens is not gold; and When in Rome do as the Romans do. He was 60 and incarcerated when he wrote his "obra maestro". His is considered the first modern humorous novel. I love the internet and learning the little known facts that add so much dimension to historical figures.
