Weird... I just noticed the ad at the top of the page. It a Hotels.com ad that says something like, "Traveling to Stresa?" "Find great deals on in Stresa" Ironically enough, we're traveling to the Stresa area (Italy) this spring... I HAVE checked out the Stresa area in recent weeks, and I had this Proboards forum open at the time. Just for fun: Let's see how many of the following subjects pop up today based on the following keywords I'm gonna type in: Honolulu, Hawaii / Gucci / Paula Deen / Macaroni Grill / Atlanta Braves / Calgary Stampede / Netflix / Route 66 / CNN / Coupon Mom / Labrador Retrievers / Nike (the ads go 'poof' at midnight, when my March ad-free payment kicks in, but if y'all see any of these things in the ads, let me know! ;D)

Well, the Italy trip I mentioned in the above post is now over and done. Which also 'splains why I've been pretty much MIA for the last several weeks. Some of my favorite things: Venice Cathedrals, Duomos, Basilicas, Piazzas, etc. Hill Towns: Montone, Orvieto, Civita Country Inn in Tuscany - walking thru the vineyards in the rain Truffle Hunting (with a very talented dog) Cooking lesson (made fresh pici pasta, sausage & gnocchi) Cruising The Cinque Terre seaside towns Driving from Lake Orta to Lake Como via BEAUTIFUL Switzerland Food & wine; food & wine; and more food & wine - I'm afraid to step on the scale tomorrow morning! And lastly, the thing that would be of most interest to those of you who frequent this forum: There was a "Short-Track Connection"... As some of you know, for the last few years Larry & I have hosted skaters in our home who were training with the SCSSA club. Recently we've hosted 3 Italian skaters, plus one Swiss skater who is from an Italian region of Switzerland. During this trip, we had the great pleasure of seeing all 4 of these skaters - and meeting some of their families for the first time. We also saw the Italian National team working out in the gym and caught up with USA Olympian Anthony Lobello, who is now skating and training in Italy! On the return home, there are bills to feed and mouths to pay... I'm jet lagged, and internet withdrawal has morphed into internet apathy - I've concluded that I really CAN live without it. I don't know which end is up right now, but I WILL be back in the saddle soon!

Hi! I've been kind'a awol here since Aug 16th - when I had good internet access, I had little time... and the past 3 days I've been traveling and haven't had internet access at all!
As some of you know, my husband coaches baseball, and we had the happy opportunity to make it all the way to the World Series in Van Buren, Arkansas!
These are mostly 15-year-olds (high school freshmen), and we ended up 3rd in the tournament, which was ultimately won by Kentucky - a team that was never able to beat us by more than 1 run throughout the week.
When the tournament was over, I drove 11 hours from Ft. Smith to Atlanta for our daughter-in-law's baby shower, then flew home today.
We're so proud of our team, and we had a blast - the Van Buren/Ft. Smith communities were so warm, welcoming and hospitable. Larry and I decided that we MUST go back when we're not distracted by baseball. The Northwest corner of Arkansas (the Ozark Mtns) is SO beautiful - and the vacation & recreational opportunities would totally fill up a week or two!
Maybe I'll get some pics posted of our journey...

Don't think so. I saw a pix on Yahoo with it all bushy, so it is probably pulled back.

Shaun's public apology on FB:
Shaun White I want to apologize for the unwise choices I made over the weekend and for any inconvenience it caused my family, friends, business partners, the hotel and their guests. I was celebrating a happy occasion with a ton of family and friends and got carried away. I'm truly sorry for my poor behavior.
