My apologies, good sirs.

I suppose I should have said this earlier, but I really am quite sorry for the delayed happening of this blog. I promised many a loved ones at home a frequent account of life in Italy, and now here I am just about halfway through my time here (!) and really haven't told you much of anything. Well, points off for Jenny. I won't promise (since I did that before and it obviously didn't do any good), but I do intend to keep you better informed about my thoughts of all this adventuring from here on out, and hope we can continue without any hard feelings.
