Hey Dave Werstine and anyone else in need of a shout out!
Just thought bloggers would like to see that my story on Derek Parra, U.S. speedskater and 2002 Gold and Silver medalist from San Bernardino, is up on the Press-Enterprise website right now. They do make you sign in to see full stories and since I don't want to be sued for running the story here, I've given you the link to it. The AP did contribute to this story -- no quotes, those are all mine -- but some of the details on his divorce and some reworking of some things took place.

Also, I'm working on a few other things for the PE so sign up! (And I didn't even get paid to say that!)
Hope my readers are having a good time in California, Colorado, New York, Alaska, Italy or whereever else you might be reading this blog. I'm going to the apartment to see Opening Ceremony stuff now. Oh yeah, I was able to score my luge, women's hockey bronze and men's hockey bronze game tickets. Sweet! And I give myself a gold medal for being able to wait in line. The internet has been weird here today so I went in person to the box office. Single-file line is NOT a concept Italians understand, if you must know.
OK, I won't be near my computer this weekend so no posts until Monday unless something changes. I will come back stronger than ever thought with a mega post then.
Ciao!
P.S. Yes, Jon, I ate the anchovies (twice) but I'm likely to steer clear of them. It's about trying different things on this trip. Pizza with ham and mushroom is my new favorite here. Yum!

Great story! Keep 'em coming...

Brady and I just finished watching some 1st day Olympic Coverage on TV. And, I must say, your blog is making me feel so much more like I'm in Italy, compared to NBC.
Keep up the good work, and please more food postings. Also, can we have a bit more vino talk, too. Are you drinking more reds, or whites?
I liked your Parra story, too. But, why no Torino, dateline?

OK, OK, an actual link to a story you've written while you're in Italy. I believe you now.
I was convinced that this was just an extravagant vacation and covering the Winter Olympics was just an elaborate cover story. :)
Glad to hear you're doing well. Been keeping up with the blog whenever I can. Sorry I haven't had time to comment on here or reply to your e-mail sooner. I've FINALLY moved into the new apartment and things have just been hectic.
Take care and look forward to continue reading about your adventures.
