Jean,
Just wanted to send a quick message to thank you and Scott for keeping an eye on Tandy before she joined us here. I hope it didn't mess up your Italy plans. Any salacious Italian gossip you'd care to share? Either the kind you caused or the kind you overheard is fine, though obviously I'd prefer the former. It's not Vegas, after all, which means you're obligated to share.
Ciao,
A.

Hey, you're welcome. It wasn't any trouble at all. Tandy's a nice young woman.
Mr. Summers outdid himself this year. We've been on a tour of Italy (Olive Garden pun not intended). We started off in Rome and went sight seeing. We saw the Parthenon and the Colosseum. Now we're in Venice. We went to a New Years Eve party at one of the hotels. Someone who shall remain nameless told the band leader it was our 8 year anniversary so the band leader announced it to the crowd and played our wedding song. There was a New Years countdown and as the clock struck midnight there were fireworks. One of the waiters took our picture at the party so I'm attaching it, since I know you'll never forgive me if I don't provide every detail. :) Not sure why I wasn't smiling too much in the picture. It was a candid shot and I think I was distracted by a juggler on one of those unicycles.
Right now we're at the hotel room. Scott's having a shower while I'm catching up on emails. We should be home soon but not too soon. I'm enjoying the Italian life.
How was your New Years Eve? Did you go anywhere exciting?
Jean

Yeah, she is, isn't she? Clearly I haven't been working hard enough to screw her up...
Sounds like a great trip so far. Did you work your mental whammy to cut down the tourist crowds while sightseeing? Make everyone decide to go look for olive gardens at the same time so you could get into the attractions right away? Please tell me you did!
Someone who shall remain nameless, huh? And was this someone a redheaded telepath, by any chance? Or someone who shoots eye beams? Wow, that's an interesting choice of tie on your husband, I must say. Love your dress. Was there really a juggler on a unicycle at your New Years Eve party, or was it actually some guy with a lampshade on his head and no pants?
We docked in Brisbane for the eve to ring in the new year with Garrison's family at a ritzy private club his father has access to. Tandy, Vikks, and I made up elaborate backstories with false identities for ourselves and tried to see how many people we could get to believe us (or in Vikks's case, see how many phone numbers she could collect.) Garrison and his father drank a lot and pretended not to know us.
