And ablogging I shall go ...
So here I am blogging. Perhaps talking to the world. Perhaps talking to myself. Well my trip to Italy commencing in approximately 6 days will be a social experiment in more ways then one. About the name of my blog. You try naming your blog. It's not easy. My blog name refers to the fact that in Italian, my name means woman, so literally translated, it's Donna the Woman, and that just seems apropos actually. I am curious to how my name will be understood in Italy. I don't think Italian people name their girls Donna (and they hardly do in the English-speaking world either anymore). Italians name their girls Paola, Sophia, and Isabella, not Woman. I keep invisioning this who's-on-first kind of bilingual conversation. "Mi chiamo Donna." "Yes, crazy American lady, I can see that you're a woman. Now what's your name?"

hmm, I knew you liked computers, but I never knew you were such the techie. Your blog is really cool, and so are you. I always find out about the 'good ones' after it's too late. ;>
I hope your time in Italy is awesome and your social experiments succeed, in more ways then one. ;>
Ah, you final got that hot laptop. Can I see it? Oh please.....I'm begging, ok....?
The Stoners© finished the new website, but I told them you wouldn't like it, so they're starting over, FROM SCRATCH!
If g-d forbid, you get a flat tire with a rented car in Italy, DON'T HAVE THE FLAT FIXED YOURSELF. Bring in back to the 'Rent-a-Hopptie' place and let them charge you and change it there. I'll explain later when you return.
Seriously, safe trip, I hope your flight is free of any turbulence, and I look forward to your return. btw, www.fitnyc.edu has been totally deleted........just kidding!

Have a great and safe trip--I love you, Mom
