First part of a week away, first a couple of days in Rome. Took the Bike Friday all cased up on the plane and used it in Rome to great effect. Very good. Weather was good, food as always good, wine nice, and pleasant stay at St. Pat's with Declan et al. I was there for St. Patrick's Day and had the celebratory lunch, and ran in to a number of people that I'd have known 30 years ago. Nice to see them. Lolly della Vedova, for example, Irish woman married to an Italian lawyer, now evidently in her seventies. Benignus was there with his sister. All of us are getting older.
