I went for a nice bike ride yesterday. The weather is turning nice. The days are beautiful and the nights are cold. I rode along the Po River, which runs about a quarter mile behind my house. I realized the other day that if it ever flooded, our house would flood immediately. Good thing I sleep on the second floor.
Since I get bored sometimes when I ride my bike I have been practicing riding without hands, senza le mani(grammar tip for the day: the word for hand (mano) is feminine even though it has a masculine ending). I can now ride indefinitely without touching the handlebars provided there are no sharp turns or really big potholes. I consider this a big accomplishment.
This is a panorama of the river and Francolino, the small town I live in outside of Ferrara. If you click on the picture you should be able to see a slightly bigger version. The arrow points to my house. If you try really hard maybe you can see Marco mowing the lawn.
ok, so to see a suitably large version of the picture go to http://www.sendspace.com/file/sxlngm and download the file, it's called stich3_3.jpg

Everyone in the photo entitled "The whole fam-damily overlooking Firenze" looks so Italian. Could it be the effect of that Tuscany wine?
Keep embibing and enjoying the Italian wonders of the world!
You missed out on a St. Pats' day declaration by the Arch Bishop. He publically said that doesn't approve of the parade and celebrations in St. Louis during Holy week. He said that St. Pats should be rescheduled for a different day. You think the Irish celebration would ever occur on any day other than the 17th ??
Nick, you gotta write more and post some pics. Or email me, or something. The weather's finally getting nice here too. You know what that means: project time! (aka, no time outside)
Oh, and you're missing a great NCAA tournament. I know how sad that makes you.
