Who needs a pick-me-up?

Who needs a pick-me-up?

So who needs a pick-me-up after seeing Rosco's dinner all over the woodland floor? You know, the woods don't stay green by themselves. Anyway, Stacy was grossed out so here are some pictures from Rome: A gyspy stealing a baby on a bicycle. Aunt Linda gave the Roman Forum a 'Wha??' and a 'Oh Brother'. I was struck by a ray of light in the Pantheon. It started to talk to me but I excused myself as I would with any other panhandler. At the Spanish Steps, a guy "guessed" I was American and said I looked like Tom Cruise. I "guessed" he was a bad pickpocket and fled. There are a lot of great stories about this statue of Laocoon; a beautiful piece of antiquity currently housed at the Vatican. But I can't be bothered. Go to Rome yourself and stop mooching off my dime. (Maybe I'll tell you later. tee-hee!)
