My friend Tom Adams sent me this.
It is amazing what the human mind is capable of. This is simply stunning. Dude accurately pencils an overhead panorama of Rome...from memory...on a 5 yard wide canvas.

Cool Moon Last Night
Last night there was a cool moon in the sky with clouds around it. I decided to try the different settings on my cell phone camera and see what resulted. These are some of the results.

Our Travails at the Italian Consulate
We went up to the Italian consulate in January and obtained the paperwork and instructions. We were told then that once we mailed everything to the Consulate, they would send my son his passport in 2 to 3 weeks. I sent it all up to them and we waited. Last week, while I was out of town, my son called to say he had received a packet from the Consulate. Unfortunately, it didn't contain the passport. Instead, it contained all the paperwork we had sent up with an attached letter. The letter said that this could only be done in person by appointment and that the next available appointment is...is...is....August 2011!!!
So Monday morning we drove the 4 hours back to the Consulate and there we waited an hour to speak with someone. We felt a lot of relief when the nice lady said that we shouldn't worry, they would make it happen now. About the time we were being helped, visiting hours were almost over for the day (noon) and we still needed to get photographs made, so we left and booked into a hotel. After we took care of what we needed to do, we went to see the Liberty Bell and settled in for the night.
The next morning we went back and waited an hour and finally finished up everything. They even made the passport right then and there and showed it to us! But, they said, they couldn't give it to us right away but that it would be sent to us. How tantalizing!
After all that, we are very grateful to the personnel at the Consulate for accelerating the process!

From Here On In...
So it's been tough to find the time to post both here and on Facebook so I've decided that I'm going to post on my blog the following:
1) Links to my Flickr account for when a good set of new photos are there.
2) Stories from my life. I promise they'll be good!
So for everything else, you can look at my Facebook account:

I hope to see you there too!
Love to all
Joe

Portillo's Hot Dogs
A mighty good chain I had never heard of until now! As seen in Barlett, Illinois.
Jain Temple in Bartlett, Illinois
Quite a remarkable site to find in the middle of a Chicago suburb!
