I bought them hats a long time ago...

I wondered if it was even worthwhile providing an update. I figure people probably stop checking. But, I don't want to be a lame-ass blogger.

And besides, there is so much to say. The last time you read my blog, I was not engaged. After a fantastic trip to Italy, I'm engaged! Very exciting. Italy was fantastic. Ate and drank my way through Florence with fiancee, and her sister and brother-in-law. Highlights included getting engaged, watching the explosion of the cart at the Duomo for Easter, and getting completely and utterly inebriated at an irish pub.

Check these guys out. They're from Finland. No, I am not making this up. They will be participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. Previous winners include Abba and Celine Dion, and it was where "Volare" gained worldwide prominence.

And the hat follow-up: I wore the old Italian Man walking hat quite a bit in the cold weather, but have yet to bust out the fancy grey felt.
