Jeff in Puglia

Wow is my home country 232 years old already!!!  I have the shoes for the party!

I've never had shoes so colorful in my life.  I'm so Italian.

Good news: It’s hot which means gelato is always welcome.

Bad news:  The price of a cone has gone up to 1.80 euro.  That's frickin ridiculous!!!!

Good news:  I figured out how to get to Rome for my August vacation.

Bad news: My August vacation spot erupted into violence after an election, although things look better already today in Mongolia.

Bad news: The lease of my Alfa Romeo is up soon and I’ll have to give up the “silver bullet.”

Good news: The next car, expected to be a Ford Focus, while not sporty or exciting does get better gas mileage. 

Good news:  Nicolas Cage is in town with his big ass yacht in the harbor.  Maybe I’ll run into him around town.  

Bad news:  There’s a sexier American in town than me!  Personally, I think he’s ugly, but hey he gets the hot chicks!

Good news:  I go home for work for 2 weeks in September.

Bad news:  September is one of the best months to be in Puglia..
