these days of leiderhosen

Lest I forget Rome: San Crispino Gelato :Via della Panetteria 42 East of the Trevi Fountain (no flashy gelato sign, just a little bronze plaque) Try the house specialty: honey. Or the bitter orange. And the pistachio. But you can't miss the zabione or hazelnut or... Liliana Michilli Via dei Banchi : Vecchi 37A jewelry store of copies in the art preservers' neighborhood. Buy your friends $26 copies of 1906 Cartier cocktail rings or contemporary flashy things. Galleria Borghese (Napoleon's sister's house and where Napoleon went shopping for his little Louvre project)Vatican, schmatican - go see the three life-altering Berninis. The rest of the collection is quite smashing as well. Due to limited entrance, you must have reservations, which you can make online ( http://www.galleriaborghese.it/borghese/en/edefault.htm )Check out the one person elevator. Have a caffe corretto (shot of espresso with a shot of brandy) in the downstairs coffee bar. And in a museum. How civilize...

Oh, it's not! It is!!! San Francisco modeled in Jello! Watch the quicktime movie when the set shakes! http://www.lizhickok.com/assets/portfolio/pages/06telegraph.html

This picture is of my younger, prefered brother Scott and The Best Girl on the Planet Except Maybe Mom - Sarah! Okay, that's clear. I think.

Oh, for the love of pudding. Fine, Carolyn, Fine! Are you happy that I finally have this wee little virtual soapbox to spout my absurdities from, mispellings and all? Might as well take off my pajama pants and climb on the scanner right now! And for the record, Miss Poptart 1995, I miss you too.
