Filling in for the Pope
Well, I'm off to Florence tomorrow morning. I will be gone until October 9. While I am in Florence, I will be the Pope's substitute, so if you need anything blessed or have anything to confess, you may contact me until he comes back to Italy. 
P.S. Boy, am I glad I'm flying out of Washington instead of Philly tomorrow. That was just luck since I booked the flight a few months ago.

Firenze in the fall, oh man am I jealous!
It's a Pitti I can't join you. 
Wishing you a great time. Say Hi to David for us.
If the truffles are in, stop by Harry's Bar for the Fettucine with truffle sauce.

Re: Filling in for the Pope
As god to give me a call. I have a few complaints.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Re: Filling in for the Pope
Thanks, everyone. I am going to visit a couple of new towns this year .............. Lerici along the coast and having lunch at a cheese farm just outside Volterra. I will also be re-visiting Cortona, Montepulciano, Radda, Greve and Montefioralle, along with the San Grignano winery/olive grove. And, oh yes, I'm going to a soccer (futbol) game in Florence.
If you are interested in the art and culture of Renaissance, I'm a good guide ............... so I've been told by pilgrims who have gone with me before.
