happy december everyone! (if you celebrate those types of things) the winds are kicking up, and pretty soon ol' 'babbo natale' will be climbing up those little rope ladders...or is it down?...and rome has more panetone than trader joe's on christmas eve...i am keeping busy trying to quietly merge continents on an anonymous street corner...next weekend i will play in napoli on saturday and roma on sunday (a first for me) keep those cards and letters of encouragement coming! stay tuned
