Serino! Part 2
This is Part 2 of a series about our short visit to our ancestral home Serino, Campania, Italy. It's even more emotional for me than Part 1. I will continue with the story from that blog post where I engaged with an elderly woman after I made a series of K-turns on her narrow side … Continue reading Serino! Part 2

The Fountain of Yute!
I continue in the theme of mortality as with the last few log posts. I'm fortunate that I've found the Fountain of Yute! It’s my grandson (who this blog is dedicated to, and started even before he was an inkling!).

See Ya’ On the Other Side!
A few blog posts ago (When I’m 64!) talked about mortality. I'm sure that we've all heard the phrase, "See ya' on the other side!" But, I'm quite unsure what it means; the other side of what? The Wall? The Street? The World? Or more cosmic - The Universe? More spiritual - life/death? These are things that … Continue reading See Ya’ On the Other Side!
My Towns 8 – Da Michele!
I continue to focus on MY TOWNS. Now that we’re back in Napoli, let’s be honest…I'M A PIZZA NERD! There I said it! I probably should seek help from a Pizza Nerd Support Group.

My Towns 7 – Driving at 13!
So, we’re back in Napoli! We've been here several times, and frankly, I can't get enough. The energy that I feel makes Manhattan feel like Smugtown (see link). But, despite its chaos, it has a homey feeling for me also.

My Towns 6 – Drives Me Crazy!
Continuing on the genre of posts about My Towns. I want to talk about early generation Italian-American drivers, and specifically, early generation Italian-American women drivers. I'm sorry that some might consider this sexist, but it's my blog AND MY TRUE STORIES! .TABLE OF CONTENTS Drives Me Crazy!Joanne M's Driving "Prowess"Nebalatan Word of the Day - … Continue reading My Towns 6 – Drives Me Crazy!
My Towns 5 – Smugtown!
As I continue to explore the topic "My Towns" it seems that I've been disparaging My Town, Rochester, NY. I've not tried to be negative, but Rochester has a history of self-deprecation. As far back as the early 1950's Rochester had the designation of "Smugtown." TABLE OF CONTENTS Smugtown Is it Darktown or Smugtown? Nebalatan … Continue reading My Towns 5 – Smugtown!
