Go here instead. It’s much nicer.    ~

Golly! That’s nine days away! Sorry about that, y’all. Had some things to think about. Some friends came to visit last week. We were going to go look at lots of important things, but it was just so much nicer to sit around in the garden and drink tea. And I didn’t have to put on my shoes, which is always a bonus. I’m retiring. If Diocletian can quit to grow cabbages so can I.

This is a photo of the main strip in Norcia’s centro storico, getting ready for the festa di San Benedetto tomorrow. It comes off the Twitter page of the Norcia commune. Apparently we’re supposed to be proud that the town is now beholden to the EU, that blatantly hates Christianity. The festa is a huge deal; the regional and local commune government representatives all come and there’s all these civic dignitaries standing around.
