Mike, At last I’ve visited every single latte shop in Boulder, at least until another one opens up, which may happen tomorrow. Not counting the repetitions, where the owners or franchisers have more than one storefront, I’ve found 28 legitimate espresso shops in town. There are some others in libraries, bookstores or restaurants, but they […]

Diane’s an avid NetFlix subscriber. She’s on the three movie plan  and is almost always satisfied with her picks. Today’s arrivals : Juno, A Mighty Heart, and Harrison’s Flowers. I always struggle with those mailers and Diane always shakes her head. “Diane, how do you open this thing?” “Honey, those are made for morons and […]

Ciao from Italy, Here are a couple of pictures from CInqueterre and the Aeolian Is. One shows the view from our Manarola hotel window of the farmed wall across the street. Another is of Beth on the Via del Amore between Riomaggiore and Manarola. Another is of a pretty flower by the trail from Vernazza […]

Peter, Diane and I returned to the Italian restaurant on the hill for our last dinner while Matt hung back and entered a Texas Hold’em tournament with eleven others at the casino next to our hotel. The game lasted about two and half hours and he won by knocking off people two and three times […]
