TMers,

Italy was absolutely spectacular, as anticipated. What a pleasure to be in a city (Venice) with such a rich artistic heritage that remains so unchanged. No autos and terrific street musicians were a fine trade-off for the continuing weakness of the American $. It was particularly fun to return there with my kids.

Cassone's students in Novara were fun to work with, particularly two who wiill be competing at the Andre Competition in the fall (one will be at Chosen Vale as well).

Thanks to the various Mods who watched over things here while I was away. I owe you all a Peroni sometime.
