Ciao a tutti!
Today marks the midpoint of my venture. Time to reflect with a little buon vino about what's been, what is, and what will be. From where I stand, everything looks good. I bought my ticket today for . . . (trumpets - le trombe - per favore) . . Venezia! For me, just finding my way to the hotel, not by foot, not by taxi, but by watercraft, will be an adventure worth having. A big fat 10 on the OMG scale.

I am into a pattern now of eating early and then being done with it for the day. It's been working, with some minor tweaks, i.e. Pringles attacks. But other than that, breakfast in the apartment, and a big lunch out seems to satisfy, and hopefully it's less ingested overall. Seems so.

Missing everyone by now,

A presto. . . .
