In January, I complained on this blog about not being able to bring beer back from Prague. I didn’t explain what I was doing over there, though. I had gone to meet a guy (a prince, actually) who left his normal life in Boston to reclaim his family’s vast, lost fortune in the Czech Republic, but who has discovered that treasures can be a hell of a burden. The story, The Prince Is a Pauper, hit stands in the May issue of Boston yesterday.

(Above, that’s a picture I took near the prince’s palace in Prague.)
