The Terminal – Minneapolis Chapter
About 6 months ago I mentioned the movie “The Terminal” with Tom Hanks, in one of my posts, referring to Starbucks. Well… here’s the story. I was flying to Boise, ID, on early March 2005. There had been some terrible snow storms all over Europe so flights were delayed or even[...]

Cars – Part 1: The 70s and 80s
The other day I was parking the car in front of my place and I thought of how much I actually like driving. Especially on my own, no passengers… so that I can sing and also let my brain wander, think, remember, plan, come up with ideas. Odd, huh? Then I started thinking of the [...][...]

Go Yankees!
I have no idea how’s the Yankees season going, to be honest. I haven’t followed in quite a while. But yesterday I went to the storage room to look for something and instead, I found my baseball/softball stuff. A few balls, 2 bats, my glove. One ball signed by Elio e Faso (Elio e Le [...][...]
Silly little pleasures
I’m having my second cup of coffee today, or cuppa joe?! Had one this morning and now that I’ve just finished lunch, I’m gonna sip my coffee for a while. I don’t remember when I started drinking coffee. It wasn’t before my 16-17 anyway. I like it in different ways, depe[...]

Home-made Mary Poppins Bag
The other day I was talking about making boxes with stuff I don’t use. Well, looking for boxes I found other boxes and of course I just had to open a couple of them. In one I found some really nice stationery that I had bought right before the email era invaded my life. I [...][...]

Boxes
A few days ago I left Ecuador for a 2 weeks globetrotting attack, as I call it. I’m in Italy now and will leave again to Ecuador in about 10 days. I’m back in Pisa, the town where I graduated and where I have most of my Italian friends. The first days it felt strange, [...][...]

Autumn in Ecuador
September is almost over and it has been one of the busiest months since I’m here in Ecuador. Maybe this is a good thing, as I could stay away from the blue I had a few weeks ago. Actually, I started being more creative. The writing is still going on, or the ‘writing retrieving’, as [...][...]
