Summer Solstice last night, so the year is downhill all the way from here. But the magic of last night will last a while. On a very straight section of the Tiber, between Ponte Sisto and Ponte Mazzini, [Kristin Jones and her crew]http://www.tevereterno.it/tevereterno.html exhibited one of the be...
I’m not a big fan of Über-blogger Seth Godin. Nor do I dislike him. I just don’t visit very often.
