Magic – At Sea – [09/22/2013]
The name Toni Warne meant nothing to me when I first heard it. I knew she’d been on television, but since I purposely don’t follow reality TV (I haven’t even watched Dancing with the Stars for ages now) I’m rather … Continue reading

Gremlins – Venice, Italy – [09/13/2013]
The simple truth is that I hate the fact that I am so dependent on my office computer. Of course, we won’t even go into the absolute life-line created by my personal laptop (which is more of an entertainment system … Continue reading
In Good Company – Venice, Italy – [09/12/2013]
