Why am I?

Non chi sa.

And, if anybody tries to tell you that they know the answer as to “why” we all are, trust me,

they are fooling themselves.

It’s best not to let them fool you too.

People can draw conclusions and make educated (or fantasy) guesses, but one of the great mysteries of life is that truthfully we have no idea why we are here.  I can live with that.   I do every day.

Today I became completely Italianized

Because when I looked outside at this beautiful view from my bedroom…

I thought to myself…I know!…

Let me hang my laundry outside! on the line just below my bedroom window!…

And I did!  I dried my laundry outside my apartment wall for the first time ever.

And that’s when I knew the transformation was complete.

(oh, and p.s., last night I tripped the breaker by running too many modern conveniences in my apartment at one time.  My landlord told me that I became officially Italian when I underwent that particular baptism by experience.  It was all really just too damn funny!)

Yikes, this will give you vertigo!  But I wish you could see and smell how fresh my beautiful laundry is!
