Another Birthday

March 14, 2011

Tomorrow is my birthday. I have seen this day come and go so many times now. There was a time I remember, when it seemed that time stood still. If only I was eighteen, I used to think when I wasn’t eighteen, I could certainly change the world, I would definitely have more freedom. When [...]

From Sicily With Love

January 24, 2011

Made it to Sicily and…….. it is FREEZING. But then I hear that New York is REALLY, REALLY cold. Oh Dear! Anyway, having had a bit of trouble getting to Italy, here I am. I don’t know what it is with me and travel lately, but when after a wonderful day together, Christine drove me [...]

I’m Off To Europe

January 18, 2011

More snow came down during the night. Now it is raining, outside is a big wet slush. I am glad that I have no errands out of the house today. And tomorrow…. tomorrow I’m off to Europe! First stop London, where I’ll spend a day with Christine, one of my dearest friends. Christine and I [...]

Thank You Christine, David & Tom

September 1, 2010

I had been telling you about my time in Europe, which already feels like a distant memory, when I had to stop because of the tomatoes and peppers waiting for my attention, and because of my tiredness. I am still tired. I am always tired and I am tired of being tired. I stopped smoking [...]

Today I Rest !

August 29, 2010

This time last week we were boarding a plane for our flight from Trapani to Rome. Between then and now we have spent three full days in Rome, several hours in London, and we have been back three days. I am tired! For one thing in am still jet lagged and I haven’t had enough [...]

Attivo Or Non Attivo – That Is The Question

August 27, 2010

So, where were we? Oh yes! Having left the Vatican, we drove around a bit, then stopped in Via Liegi, in the Parioli area north of town and had a salad at a restaurant called “Insalata Ricca” – Rich Salad. My salad was okay, but nowhere near as good as any of my own creations; [...]

Rome Continued

August 26, 2010

As my friend Frazer said (after the fact), I should have brought something to lie on to really appreciate (and enjoy) the Sistine Chapel. My neck is still suffering from all the looking up at the ceiling. The day started well. When we left the apartment at nine o’clock in the morning, it was still [...]

From Sicily With Love

August 10, 2010

It’s taken me till now, but this morning I realized that the pigeons in Paceco cannot hoot in English. I’ve given up trying to get them to pronounce Andrew properly. But they are so determined to call out his name that it dawned on me this morning that the answer is for them to call [...]

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

April 22, 2010

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. If I had a picture of myself this morning, and were I willing to post it, you’d see me puffy eyed and with red blotches around my nose. Then you would know, without my having to tell you, that I have been crying [...]
