.. into the wild blue yonder.
Well, we are on our way to Italy for 9 days. We are in Rome first fpr 3 days - and then at a great villa for a week with a bunch of friends. And I don't feel really bad for saying this, because you were all invited and you blew us off (Joc & Les, Jan & Herb, Gareth, and Brad to name but a few).
Oh, it will be great fun. But it would have been more fun if you were coming.
