The stadium will be packed just like always. Love does that. It makes you overlook faults. Neapolitan’s have a saying. “Ogni scarfone e bell’ a mamma sua” Roughly translated “Every cockroach is loved by his mom”
If you were to guess that this is another celebratory brunch, you’d be right. We’re celebrating the final edit of one of my books ‘Before Capri An American Story’ Screenplay #BeforeCapri Books #BeforeCapriAnAmericanStory & #BeforeCapriAnItalianStory (coming soon)
So what do you do when you’ve finished editing your limited series #sreenplay? You have a brunch style breakfast with your editing staff aka wife. #BeforeCapri
You have no idea. I just spent 3 weeks in Europe and every person I encountered ask me WTF? To the person. Even the doctor that stitched up my head after I fell.
Nectarines? Never heard of that. But until last month I’d never had a black (not burnt but made with a mixture of grains) veggie pizza either. Buon appetito!!
When in #BellaNapoli make sure you include a morning walk down the #StepsOfSanMartino to #SpaccaNapoli Under an hour walk. It offers unparalleled views of the city and #Vesuvio. #AmericasCup #LunaRossa #MascalzoneLatino #Capri #Pompeii #AmalfiCoast #Positano #PizzaMargarita
He does not represent America. He represents his administration. The flag represents American values. They are not mutually inclusive. My flag represents equality equity individual freedom of worship/expression/ speech & justice. HE does not represent me. MY flag does. Suggest your’s does too.
What do you do after a funeral? You have margarita pizza. Only in Naples, of course.
This is what real pizza looks like. Right out of the wood fired oven before fresh basil is added. All fresh ingredients and only 5€ $5.80.
April showers bring May flowers. Or in our case, in sunny Southern California, watering once a week does the same.
I had Amatriciana for breakfast. Honestly I thought it was pretty good. Wife’s always telling me to change my routine so I can challenge my brain. So, I’ll be having breakfast stuff for lunch. Living on the wild side.
People who don’t have pets can’t understand. I know I didn’t until we inherited our son’s cat. Yes, she’s a spoiled brat. Sleeps almost all day. Roams the house at night. Is a picky eater and seems to poop a lot of but when she sleeps on my chest, all is forgiven. I melt. #caturday
I knew it was unhealthy when I ordered it. But hey your birthday only comes once a year.
While waiting to boat board to go to the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), Capri Greatest tour guide line ever “Those people with Alessandro’s group don’t worry about that lady who’s throwing up over there. She’s not with our group.”
We pay $100+ for cat medication monthly. We pay $14for human medication for 90 days. Something’s off.
Yes, is the short answer. Our cat gets me up at 6am most of the year. That’s 5am during the summer. I don’t mind anymore. Gives us time to talk about our day and cuddle. 🥰 grandpa’s getting soft.
