Greetings from Italy!

A warm welcome to both of you. I apologise for my friend, E. Joel, who found it necessary to use the 'G' word - I thought we'd get a break from those things while Oren is away. Oren is from North Carolina, where people will eat just about anything.
Pino, I speak a little Italian, but I never get a chance to practise Down here (NZ) - so I'm starting to forget most of it.
Come ti butta, il mio nuona amico?
Io amo il mio contrabbasso.
Al, it sounds like you might be older than me, which is pretty rare around here.
I look forward to hearing from you both.
Ciao.

Welcome, Pino!

[Pino Cazzaniga]

...and cigarettes, of course!

Richard, I don't have that much to talk about me to move the thread, but I just came home and now, in the middle of the night, I realize that

It's my Birthday!

I'm 51, and still alive!
As for me the grit stuff is a riddle (sand? can we eat it? I will find the recipe) I challege you with another riddle:
Who is that animal who lives under the ground and eat little stones ?
(the right answer is in italian, but you may use english, if you like...)

Happy B-Day Pino!
