Today we attended the inaugural day of a new resort/beach in the middle of the Trieste Harbor. The place is called Diga - and it’s been closed since 1940 when Mussolini closed it (well maybe not Musso himself, but his government did.) So after 67 years closed, its reopened - and it happens […]

Turns out I was in Haymarket walking by a club called Tiger Tiger on Tuesday night.
Missed the car bomb by 3 days.  Darnit.
And I was at the airport in Glasgow last June.

And as to Ponzi’s request for a………………… well if Ponzi had come over to visit - Gnomedex would have that feature - now.
Next mashup* in London […]

This is what Lisa had yesterday in Gorizia. I wasn’t there. Even the worst pasta in Italy is x10 better than anything in the U.S.

Its bloody raining here.  It was sunny and warm in Trieste!
I also hear its raining in Costa Rica, India and China - too.
