Quei babbo natale sono buffi, ho visto un paio anche qui' a Firenze.

La vetrina, con il tema di viola e' bello. Cosa fai per capodanno?

Thanks for your comments. Yes, it's funny and what's ironic is that the owner of the shop is an expatriate American who has been on the island for about 20 years. As for what I'll make on New Years, well, if my luck holds out perhaps another illustrated story.

Now I feel bad. I was asking "what are you DOING for new years?"

Asking what you will make for New Years is a much more creative question though, a lot less mundane!!

I've been here over three years and my Italian still sucks, so not to worry! For me holidays don't exist, I just continue my usual routine of writing, Photoshopping, taking long hikes with a heavy camera bag, etc., etc.

Sorry to hear about the theft. It IS a psychic violation that tears the fabric of one's sense of self. Was it by a photofinisher?

I don't know if I updated about that. I have concluded that he may not have actually stolen the pictures. His nervousness was something that bothered me, and caused me to see the situation worse than it was. I appreciate the concern.

Hey, what connection do you have? I am thinking of signing up for ALICE, but I'm worried that maybe there is something better out there that just hasn't been marketed.

The guy at the computer store talked me into signing up with Telecom Italia's "Modem ADSL B-Quick," which gives me a relatively high speed connection (there is a faster one available from TI, but costs more)at a flat rate, which means unlimited use. It's about as reliable as Libero, the one I used before. Which means that once or twice a month it stops working for a couple hours. Patience! That's what I need to work on, and this country is helping me more than it knows.

thank you

i very much enjoy reading and seeing your works

sincerely
