Update from Italy

We've heard from Kelli!

She's there, safely tucked away in the hills outside of Florence. She had a couple travel hiccups, like missing a bus and having no PIN number to use her credit card to get cash... but she's alive and well, and hasn't been abducted by Italian terrorist pornographer vegetarians or anything.

And the phone connection was quite clear! The kids were certainly happy to hear from her.

Current music: "Let's Rock a While" by Clifton Chenier

THEGIRL was here beside me a few minutes ago, making her Mr. Potato Head fight the squeaky toy Buddha.

Suddenly this gorgeous a cappella rendition of the Beatles' "Because" came on. She stopped, listened intently for a minute, handed me Mr. Potato Head and shuffled off, staring at the Buddha.

The Beatles made Mr. Potato Head stop fighting the Buddha.

Got some rest, thankfully. I hit the sheets at the somewhat early hour of about 11:30pm. I worried that anxiety would keep me up again, but that wasn't the case.

Today we're going to take it easy.

You should too.
