687 NFZ

Lovely woman driving home on the lake road today. She tailgated me the whole way down the road. At one point she went to pass. Of course this is a double-yellow, no-passing zone. I waved an arm out the window and continued with a one-finger salutation. She then sped up and neared my bumper at

Piace il mio figlio giocare il calcio

My son loves to play soccer My kids do enjoy kicking the ball around but as yet they don’t play soccer as such. We missed the deadline to get K into a league. My kids do enjoy wearing their soccer jerseys though. They are almost out of their Fiorentina jerseys but the Barcelona jerseys we

Studia per essere medico

He is studying to be a doctor Well that sure doesn’t fit much.

Ha un iPod?

Do you have an iPod? Why yes I do. Four of them in fact. One, a first generation Nano, is dead. I need to send that in to a non-Apple shop for repair. We have two second generation Nanos. We also have an ancient, by today’s standards, 40GB iPod. Wonder what the plural of iPod

Prenderò il cane per una camminata

I’m taking the dog for a walk In this case the dog is me I guess. I am eating breakfast and getting set for a long run this morning. I have never run the entire way around Lake Sammamish and today might be no different. Seriously, I am shooting to run around the lake and

Vive can i Sui genitori?

Do you live with your parents? This is one of those vaguely shady phrases guidebooks provide. Do you want to have a drink with me? With my friends? How late are you staying? Do you know where the disco is? How long will your husband be gone? Okay, I have never seen that last one

È c’in qualche luogo io può mettere il mio cappotto?

Is there somewhere I can put my coat? Sure, how about the closet? An odd thing about Italian is that “il mio”, sort of “the my”. I understand this is used most of the time but there are some exceptions such as “mio figlio Kellen” although I think it’s “il mio figlio” since I am

Farò una prenotazione

I’ll make a reservation Ahem… I am enjoying this calendar = fortune cookie stuff. What could this one mean? Well: It means soon I will need to make a reservation… It means we shouldn’t do the pork butt slow cooker tonight and go out to eat again. Since we had pizza two nights in a
