Dear Readers,
Alas! I have suffered from a case of Bloggus-Interruptus, a condition that afflicts one's mind when over-worked, over-stressed and when the hours of the day aren't long enough to complete all needed tasks. It includes sensations of extreme bloggus-envy of others who religiously post pretty much come hell or high water. I hear that it's onset can typically be traced back to an over-active desire to put more on one's plate than one can eat (proverbially speaking, of course)...The symptoms are aggravated when one's mind is asked to think in two languages simultaneously pretty consistently over a period of several months.
Alas! Tomorrow I leave for my MotherLand, bella Italia, for three full days of lectures to health care executives from around the Tuscan region - in the mother tongue, of course...I have been knee-deep in translations and preparations...hence the affliction.
Needless to say, Bloggus-Interruptus will take a few weeks to cure, but I am told that there is hope and that I will, indeed, get better. Speriamo! (that's "let's hope" for you non-natives!)
Please do come back to visit...I am sure to have some musings about the Eye-talians I am about to thoroughly enjoy!

Have fun, Cyn! I can't wait to see you when you get home and hear everything!
