As the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel and deadly coronavirus that spread out of China during the winter, has us on Month 3 of a generalized global shutdown, I thought I’d check in on some of the people I’ve met along the way, my community. I have lived in three cities across two countries […]

Fisherman’s Wharf 5.22.20
Today #SanFrancisco woke up to news reports that some 120 members of the @sffdpio responded to a pre-dawn four-alarm warehouse fire on #Pier45, a hop and a skip to the right of where I took this pic yesterday.

Dearly beloved, #Iclosemyeyes…and we’re back at the train station in Salerno, on our way to celebration in Rome.
