i hadn't heard from him in almost 24 hours by the time that i finally called him. i had received an email earlier stating that he was on his last train ride to bologna to present his thesis to the committee and hopefully finish his degree once and for all. like me, it had been a rather grueling and lengthy expansion of time to the finish. but the turtle does win the race.

when i finally did get him on the phone he was engulfed in a cacophony of sounds, glasses clinking and voices competing for an ever higher pitched laughter.

"i'm done," he said. "i finished first in my class and now i'm here with my parents, aunt and sister getting drunk."

fair enough. well deserved and i wanted to be there in order to celebrate the night away with him. here are the pictures i took as he was reveling in his success. god, i love that man.

*sigh. it has been too long since i have been able to get back into the blog again. i use the word able cautiously and more as an excuse than anything.

although much has been happening with me and boBo and the both of us together, i have been finding it hard to choose my words succinctly enough to put on the screen. the coincidental computer slow down at the house has been a convenient scapegoat, if nothing else.

since the beginning of march when the two of us were able to get away from italy and into steamy baths and swanky pubs, nothing has really been the same around these parts.

for one thing, if tourists could be compared to the volume adjuster on your choice of music-listening-device, then the police should be called in for a noise complaint. the early part of the year, although seemingly heavy with groups of ear-mic cladded followers of heightened umbrellas was simple fare to what has happened once "spring" arrived. the waves of flashes going off and rivers of determined site-seers passing by my doorstep have given me more than ample excuses for staying in or exiting the walls of the city for weekend excursions, something of an on-going thing as of late.
