Sia chiaro da subito. Se riapri un blog dopo un paio d’anni di silenzio e prima ne avevi uno dove hai scritto per quattro anni, ci può stare che ricicli qualcosa. Se poi quello che ricicli sono delle perle di rara bellezza, beh, tanto meglio per chi legge.
Il fatto è che questa mattina mi andava di raccontare la grande malinconia che mi ha preso come mai prima, nel corso dello scorso anno, per un paio di capisaldi della mia infanzia. Bologna e i Peanuts.
A Bologna si stava bene, punto. Certo Roma è un’altra cosa e, probabilmente, se non mi fossi trasferito tanti anni fa, avrei preso i voti. Ma si stava bene.
L’ironia dei Peanuts invece mi manca anche peggio. Perché ce li ho in tutte le salse, in tutte le edizioni, ma non riesco più a leggerli. O meglio, leggendoli oggi non mi piacciono come mi piacevano quando li leggevo più di vent’anni fa. Tragedia. Perché?!
Meno male che ci sono i ricordi. Un surrogato della realtà, che non ti abbandonano all’alcol. Non sempre.
Vàmolà lo sguardo lucido e savio dell’Avvocato Legnani, in compagnia del Guccio e del Dottor Masotti! Rigorosamente in un’osteria di fuori porta.
I received the Census Director’s “Dear Resident” letter saying that my house has been randomly selected into the ACS sample. This is the second time in 4 years that my household (at same address) has been asked to participate in ACS.
Shouldn’t the Census Bureau have a process in place to assure a minimum interval between sampling the same address? (Or maybe you do? Will I be surveyed every 4 years?)
I’ve been recently thinking the exact same issue myself lately. Grateful to see a person on the same wavelength! Nice article.
I searched his name for the umpteenth time and read that his death was cardiac related.
I simply wanted to write down a quick remark so as to thank you for all the stunning tips you are writing here. My rather long internet search has at the end of the day been compensated with sensible points to go over with my neighbours. I ‘d assume that many of us site visitors actually are very lucky to be in a very good network with so many lovely people with good strategies. I feel extremely lucky to have seen your weblog and look forward to really more entertaining minutes reading here. Thank you once again for all the details.
I really lucky to find this website on bing, just what I was searching for : D as well saved to bookmarks .
The Census Bureau gave the contract for their field operations “mail” to FedEx instead of the US Postal Service. Maybe, just speculating, that could be why you can’t find a Be Counted box full of census forms right there at the P.O. where P.O. box holders pick up their mail.
You can be unhappy about it, but you have no right to be angry about it
I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.
It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is definitely the most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual features. The more I look at it a lot more I am sure it does not work like a real solid tissue cancer. In case mesothelioma is really a rogue virus-like infection, so there is the potential for developing a vaccine in addition to offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are open to high risk regarding developing future asbestos linked malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas about this important health issue.
Thanks for checking in, Jenny! I’m sure you are all very excited about how close in days the World Cup really is!
