I have so much for you, I don’t know where to begin. Okay, how about with a video? It’s our first attempt, so please forgive some of the shoddy audio parts — at the big doors I’m saying “Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an American.” Tomorrow we leave Amsterdam and head for Sweden, where we’ll have some down tie to put up our other videos!

For a much clearer version of the video, try CLICKING HERE, to where David posted it on his Mac account. Hello, what’s this? That’s right, I’m on the COVER of the San Diego Reader this week with my feature story, Being Fat Sucks. I put it all out there in this VERY personal piece. I urge you to read it, and to comment at the end with any thoughts you may have.

My column this week, Peripathetic, is all about shoe issues in Florence. David became a Prada whore when I wasn’t looking, and we both limped like gimps for a full day because of our own vanity. I have added a new album to my photo page, 13 pics from Florence, and in that album, if you click on the pictures, you can see the pink flip flops on my poor feet that I wrote about in the article. Here, I’ll make it easy for you: Just CLICK HERE. I will be adding photo albums from Nice, Paris, and Venice soon! I know you have a lot to read now, so I’ll let you to it, and I really hope you enjoy my stories. While you’re doing that, I’m going to pack up my things on this houseboat and get some shut-eye. xoxo, Barbarella

As always, THANK YOU for clicking!
