I was on fire...<br /><br />The anesthesiologist said he had never seen someone come out of general the way I did... he said whatever I was doing I should keep it up. <br /><br />But I have been content to be back in the boat for now... lolGreghttp://tamingthewolf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-78078555633143188672012-06-29T14:31:59.625-04:002012-06-29T14:31:59.625-04:00Right on.

But what I liked even more was the Carceri.

Trying to tidy Francis up has been an 800 year project - fortunately he threw himself off the boat and wouldn't even hold onto the lifebelt. Perhaps you need to walk the other way to the Hermitage and get lost in the caves on the hillside there?Mairie https://www.blogger.com/profile/17663275897097146508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-60946012917923929042012-06-27T12:30:17.884-04:002012-06-27T12:30:17.884-04:00The Porzioncola is a window into Heaven.
