It's a beautiful day

You know you spend too much time out of the country when you're staying at a hotel in the states and get surprised when people talk to you in english without an accent.

I've also realized that all the Italian I knew 7 years ago has disappeared and the only two words I remember are the words for "excuse me" and "beautiful." Sure beats "I am a pedophile" which is the only phrase of Russian I know (long story. I'll get around to telling it someday.)

Naples tomorrow. Military boys today. Life could be worse.
