Running With the Black Knight

Be careful complimenting the Black Knight ... he is really a knight in shining armor. I got this lovely package from him last week (am only now getting around to showing it off):


LOOK!! Two—two CDs from the Mark Knopfler's concert in Rome (June, 13, 2005). With two lovely Italians announcing the songs! Whoo-hooo!

But wait! That's not all!! "In the envelope you will find a little thing
as a souvenir of the local half marathon, the 7th in
Italy for number of arrivals," writes Stefano.

Our friend, Stefano, came in SEVENTH in the half. SEVENTH.

Ah, Stefano: Congratulazioni!

And since my Italian is not so great, let me just add: Buona fortuna! Buon appetito! And finally: Mille grazie.

Update on me mum: I had to put her in a nursing home yesterday. Thanks to all for asking about her and for all your well wishes. You guys are amazing.

So when are you going over to see Stefano? :)

I hope Mom's home is close by so you can go dote over her whenever you feel like it.
