This is an actual email I received this morning from a friend:
Soooo….how is everything?
Lots of rain here.
My roof is leaking.
Just got in from my second trip to JFK in a week.
I spent a week in Bangkok last month.
Tell me all about your new life.

Dear D,
We had a flood here four weeks ago. Bad.
I sit in my office a lot in front of my computer.
I drink too many cappuccinos.
I ran into my ex the other day. Awkward.
Haven’t eaten any pasta yet.
Only ate one gelato.
Eva is a great Italian teacher.
Had to substitute her for the Italian news online.
I changed my cellular provider without help.
It took two attempts.
It rained yesterday.
Supermarket is closed on Wednesdays.
I ate cereal for dinner.
The Mayor says I belong in a category called “Orvietini”
I like it.

Am really enjoying your short, to the point entries!! few words saying so much..let’s make a plan to meet before Xmas? As soon as the fog lifts..I can’t see beyond my garden!
Is it cold or what? Yup. Christmas brindisi? I’m in. t
You haven’t eaten pasta yet?
Hi Michelle. Nope. Incredible self-control, huh? The thing is: I love pasta but pasta doesn’t love my hips and butt. But there is so much wonderful food that I am happy as a…woman in Italy! How are you? hugs. t
Huh, it didn’t like my butt either. First weigh in for almost 2 years. Am transitioning, slowly. Mx
Loved this!
Sitting in my heavenly bed at the JW in Seoul.
6:30 am-Snowing and freezing outside.
Need to get my bod up to go to the gym.
Hope we get out of here today and back to San Francisco
Teri’s bday party tonight in a fabulous house in St. Francis Wood.
Love and miss you
Hi Toni,
Have been following your blog for a while now. Just a quick note…it’s cold in Brindisi and surrounding areas too.

Hi Alex. Thanks for following me. I am spending the weekend in Rome and I have to say it’s even a little chilly here too. It is, after all, Christmas time. Hugs. toni
Wow Toni. I feel strangely like I’ve just spent a month right along side you in Orvieto. But I could never go that long without pasta. Ever! Darling, switch to caffe’ normale and go for some long ambling walks. How I would love some fresh air and to walk round and round Orvieto until we’d tried every coffee joint in town! bacioni xx
