Buongiorno! As I mentioned in my previous post, I moved. And it’s a big move. Yep, that’s right. I moved again. About a week ago I landed in Naples, Italy. (Napoli, if speaking Italian.) Happily, unlike my last international move, this time it’s not covid. So the flight, which was also shorter than my last … More Moving Abroad, Again

From uber inane politics where friends have gotten fired to a polar vortex that kept DC frigid to moving (more on this later), this has been another majorly stressful month.
