I hear California is entering official drought status. Meanwhile, here in Udine… So I turned 31 this week and Udine celebrated the occasion with buckets of rain…like sheets of it.

Technically B-Squared’s birthday is today but since Big Metal and she had a conference to attend in San Antonio this weekend (leaving today) we celebrated last night. Big Metal and I concocted a plan to surprise her with a celebration. Under the guise of a “low-key” dinner at a local dining establishment, we told her […]

Today is my birthday lucky me! OK, technically it was yesterday but I was far too busy celebrating to blog. Sorry, it’s the truth.
