Don’t hate me. Not my fault if a client got us airmiles for a trip to Italy to see houses. And just got us upgraded to First Class. And we’re leaving Saturday!

Bank got our starter set of trip euros overnight. Italian phone seems to be charging up on the weird Reverse Charger. Chi lo sai se funzionava? boh. Countdown to blast off continues. Italy Sunday and Monday.

Then back to NYC and hanging at the Hilton in Trebeca to see our son’s play at Joe’s Pub. Picked the hotel just because it was, according to my map reading, to be hard by Little Italy.

all Italy all the time,

ci vediamo,

See you in Italy (if you look quick)

History Channel Fri Jan 29, they find a one of a kind soft top 1950’s Italian, Piaggio Vespa based Ape Calessino. “Super Scooter” episode of American Picker. 10 PM EST. This was an awesome find. totally charming bit of Italy that had washed up on the shores of western Illinois it appears.

Similiar to this one shown here. But, the one on the show was tricked out with a canvas top. Be still my beating heart. Midge says she thinks i would have to be “VERY good” to get one of these. Shoot. There goes another ape.

See you in Italy. Which is more than a web site, its a soon to be fact. Coming up 36 hours in Panicale. Next week end. Stay tuned to this Bat Channel. Be interesting to see how this works out.
