Delicioso: Our Italian Journey

“A clean home, a clean body, and clean company. Do you know where that leads?” To a clean conscience. To a good, clean life.” --Nita Prose, in her book THE MAID

The evening before Alan, my mom and I flew from LAX to Rome we watched a movie called RANDOM HEARTS. We really enjoyed it. Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas are great together in this romantic drama. It was directed by Sydne

While exquisitely written “Our Evenings” often lulled me into a kind of literary delirium somewhere between sleep and mild boredom. It’s elegant but by page 100 (of nearly 500) I was still waiting for something—anything—interesting to happen. The prot ...more

Michael Joe’s Quotes

“How then, in the time that followed, did I become someone I didn't know?”
― Paul Lisicky

4 likes

“I exist, I am, I am here, I am becoming, I make my own life and no one else makes it for me. I must face my own shortcomings, mistakes, transgressions. No one can suffer my non-being as I do, but tomorrow is another day, and I must decide to leave my bed and live again. And if I fail, I don't have the comfort of blaming you or life or God. ”
― Leo F. Buscaglia, Living, Loving & Learning
