SOME SECRET CORNERS

It's the title of this clip (credit goes to Enrico Rava and his Quintet)
But it's much more than that.
It's the memory of my last journey to Rome with Sole, more or less a year ago.
As it happens, I was there, in Rome, the day before yesterday and also yesterday, remembering her.
With her skill for public relations
With her astounding memory for everyone: remembering spouses, children, birthdays, events, health issues, anniversaries, etc... for each person she met.
Some people seemed to be in awe of her; some others just beamed at her.
Sometimes she looked at me (we were on a joint business trip) with a smile and told me: "The secret for bearing this awful burden, all this fashion circus, false smiles and hypocrisy, is to have some secret corners. Secret corners where you keep the persons and events that are really meaningful to you".
I hope I was in one of those corners.
I'm certain Sole's Mother, Granny, Roberta, and some friends in Real Life and Second Life were.
Some furry friends too!
I'm sure her Zaphod was there, in a most secret and yet prominent Special Corner
