Something Different…
My friend Bruce used to fill his blog with a lot of videos. If he didn’t have anything profound to share on a particular day, he would share a musical gem he had found on YouTube. Bruce’s extensive music knowledge was such that he was a frequent contributor to Wikipedia , desiring to preserve things […]
The Crossing
I wonder if I went back today, would it still be there? And where was it going? It was an early evening walk. Just a couple of blocks away from our apartment there was a snail crossing the path. Slowly. In the time I watched there was no appreciable movement. Last week, when I […]

One Of Those Days…
The internet is all about funny cat videos – but I didn’t have the energy to find one for you today. Sometimes the start of the work week is like that.
Furry Creatures of Rome
When you think of furry animals in Rome, most tourists think cats. After all, there is a much-visited cat sanctuary downtown. But cats aren’t the only wild animals you can see if you keep your eyes open. There are also nutria, animals I had never heard of before last week. Had you? We were in […]
