I hope life is going a bit more smoothly for you in the month since you posted this one (sorry, I’m behind 😛). Just gave you a follow on Threads, although I haven’t been keeping up much over there. But thank you for the reminder that I am overdue for a visit to Harvard Art Museums!
Just wanted to say thanks for your recommendation of "Cooking With Fernet Branca" in a previous post. It has been on my TBR list for years but I had never read it. Absolutely hilarious and definitely shares some darkness and wit with Lanchester's "The Debt To Pleasure." I finished it and immediately ordered reading copies of "Amazing Disgrace" and "Rancid Pansies."
interestingly enough, i still can't stay away from just ranting on my instagram story. i like the act of posting a silly photo with some text, and having it impermanent.
That's the best part of stories...once they are gone, they're gone! Best places for a rant. Easier than having to go back years later and clean them out because you realize your perspective has changed or it no longer suits the image you present to the world (I had to do that with years of blog posts back in the day).
we've only met once on a luxury ship full of very wealthy people. but I count you as a colleague, friend, who would maybe have been a neighbor if I had not moved from the Boston area to Italy back in 1965.
Crystal, Im contemplating starting on substack instead of traditional publishing for my new book "Expats anthology ", since its aimed at non-Italians and cost of shipping books is becoming too much.
only a few savvy expat friends here have made the move already and Elizabeth has 40,000 followers ! Any advice for me ?

Life goal: to get a photo with the four of us! Also: I love this post :-)
Yes! I can't believe we haven't done that yet. Or if we have, it wasn't me that took the photo!
This is brilliant! Such a lovely testament to friendship. Have you read The Life Council by Laura Tremaine? Highly recommend!
No, but I'll TBR that one. Thanks for the recommend. ❤️

But now we're internet neighbors at least!
