…Or not.

Blogging has been quite light of late, partly because we are almost all in various stages of illness, but partly because, truly folks, I am getting just obssessed with this Rome business. It’s at the point at which I’m planning our second or third trip, never mind our first. It’s at the point at which I know the geography of Rome better than I know Fort Wayne. It’s silly.

But what happens is that every time I reach saturation point, I come across some new little nugget that seems vital and that alerts me to the fact that there is much, much more to know. Like last night I discovered that it is generally verbotem to touch merchandise in stores, from produce to sweaters. Is that right? I know in the grocery stores, you do pick your own produce and tag it (wearing plastic gloves?), but at the markets…hands off! That’s good to know. Now I can add handcuffs to the list of equipment to take for Joseph.

The next three weeks will be intense – I have major projects to finish before our trip. But that usually means more blogging, not less, since blogging is the best procrastinating tool there is, bar none.

Oh, and many thanks to Carl Olson for a really great review of Here. Now. in a recent issue of the NCR(egister). Just saw it this weekend.
