I am back from my Roman holiday. Here is a shot of Jacki and I on New Year’s Eve in Rome. it was crazier than Times Square, with fireworks, and punks lighting M-80s left and right, spumante and wine bottles aplenty. A big explosion had my ears ringing for a few hours. Our trip to Italy was absolutely amazing, great art, great food and wine, and great weather. Not enough to get a tan, but I am pale, rested and ready to roll. Wishing everyone a belated Happy New Year.
