back in the blogosphere

I am alive and well in Bologna, getting all the post-vacation laundry hung out to dry and restocking the fridge. Dear readers, you have many photos and stories in store for you. Tonight, however, I'm going to finish settling in, read the mail, pay the bills, and gather my thoughts, which for the past couple weeks have been spurting out in quick jots in my notebook.

For now, have a look at the blog of Beppe Grillo, a comic genius and also perhaps one of the most illuminating writers/speakers in Italy today: http://www.beppegrillo.it/english.php (in English)
