Things kids learn from cartoons nowadays
Matteo decides to meditate in front of the Duomo in Orvieto. When I asked what he was doing and where he had learned that posture from...he said "Phineas and Firb" from Cartoon Network...oohhmm!

Easter Sunday in Assisi 2009
So here we are on Easter Sunday. I look over and I say to Shantu "Hummm... 40 kilo maximum." So he stops, looked dejected and gets off the teeter toter.
Then 10 minutes later. I look at there he is on the Per Perego Gaucho Jeep. I think to myself first and then say "Hey... 80 Kilo Maximum" but seconds later, gravity talkes its toll and Shantu is flat on his back

Fior di Risorse... Networking Italian Style!
Okay, so I joined a LinkedIn networking site last month called Fior di Risorse. It had a "dinner meeting" last night at Tavola di Cavalieri "Knights' Table" which was described as ten minutes from Assisi. Since the good people at FdR went to the trouble of having in Assisi out of all places in Umbria, I was certainly going to make it.

Enough! No more Excuses! Racism sucks!
This Spanish Olympic basketball team (the whole team) decided it was a good idea to do this. There was even a photographer and an ad agency that had no one to stop and say "hey, maybe my mom taught me better!"

Burger, Fries and Foccacia Bread
Suby loves mamma's cooking. Her burgers made with all local stuff. He just wishes his mouth was bigger!

Dim Sum did not make it across the Silk Road.
There is NO Dim Sum in Italy. Not in Milan or Rome either! Just the occasional potsticker. Very sad.
Un nuovo amico Osvaldo mi a detto lui non piace cibo Cinese. Aspetta! Aspetta! Marco Polo portato pasta di Cina a Italia no?

A Doctor in Assisi
So you are visiting Assisi and are sick as a dog. Who ya gonna call? When we moved to Assisi 5 years ago we had the good fortune to meet Dottore Sanhthu Nguyen. Born in Hue Vietnam, raised in Paris, college educated at Cornell University and received his medical degree from the University of Perugia.
What do you have? A family doctor that speaks English, Italian, French and Vietnamese who can still make house or hotel calls. 0758004836 (office) 3381600874 (cell)

Helen was jonesing for some spare ribs. So on to the internet for a recipe.
Fire up the deep fryer from Lidl and a half hour later, there it is!
Actually she didn't have any ribs so it was Peking Chicken!

Campionato Italiano
The problem is that the Italians always give directions as if you know where it is already. I am told that the Caserma Ferante Gonzaga is near the train station in Foligno. Humm. I certainly hope so. It makes me think that Columbus would have found the Americas faster had he not been trying to find India.

Interesting Bathroom Pictures
Here is my submission. Note the use of Barn Door Sliding Hardware, the Cut Out wire racks for the sink cabinet and the recycled cut out pieces of the container used for the doors as well as the tub enclosure.
Now my friends Nigel and Tamara have an interesting bathroom using some stainless steel in an interesting manner. I would like them to add a photo here too!

Pro Volleyball in Perugia
Being the sports entusiast that I am, I could not resist the invitation to see the Perugia vs Cesena match last week. It starred Hao Yang, the China Olympic star fresh from the Olympics who had come by our home last month with her mother.
It took me a few minutes to fully understand the MINI that was emblazoned on the valuable real estate which was their asses- the MINI was for MINI Cooper which I am sure paid a lot for that valuable real estate.
