Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.
A friend of mine on a European trip mailed me this postcard from Hungary on May 22, 1988, not too long before the fall of the Eastern bloc. He opened it, "Greetings, from behind the curtain!"
