Extending (of course)

 I'm on day 6 (day 6!) at the lovely Casale di Clio!

My muse did find me: I worked on a few projects, including revisiting 2 pilots' cold opens, working on the great grandma show, and of course, this blog.

I also had some fun times ITALY here, 

  • arriving on Wednesday (RAIN!  FROGS!  PORCUPINES!)
  • Thursday I went to Lucca 
  • Friday was writing and pizza night
  • Saturday was what?  Oh long walk and I was rejected at the trattoria.  Instead, I made some more pasta, ate some cheese and drank wine for dinner.  
  • Sunday was long walk same town, NOT rejected by trattoria (Casa something) and they doled out a bunch of food, including pasta stuffed with meat and covered in a meat sauce, slices of thin cured beef and maybe pork, wine (Vino Rossi I declared), and dessert (Tiramusi) and coffee.  We (my house mate) and i walked back along the road.  I couldn't sleep and thought it was the pillows but I think I'm kind of ready to move on
  • Monday was the cave and drive through scottish town, and stop at grocery store. I also praticed my piano, with silent night. I still don't know my keys and letters, so I plan to go on a walk and try to learn those. I think i just need to memorize them.
  • Tuesday, today, I got up, re-worked the sitcoms and stumbled across my other intended writing projects (HELLO BLOG!, writing about the dead (grateful) but I'm happy with what I got done and thought through.  Now I just need to write the second cold open and re-do the sitcom blah blah blah.  But, I think it's simpler and stronger and can't someone else just finish it?  Who can I hire to do that?
  • Wednesday: I'm heading to Florence! I booked a wine window tour, and then will go buy paper and perfume maybe and walk around. That town puts me firmly back in my youth so I'm skipping the museums and just going wandering for a bit.
  • Thursday and Friday: I booked a hotel that I can't cancel so I'm going to Lake Lugano!
  • I was supposed to fly out Saturday, but I extended to Tuesday.  I want to get to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, and use my swiss half pass a bit.  I'll dump the car saturday and then go adventure for a bit. Maybe dump one bag, too...they are a DRAG!  (Get it?)
  • And then, back to life
Sound good? Does everyone approve?  (I'm looking around for confirmation...but I think everyone, incuding my gut, approves.)
