Mixed bag there. Primo's new GF is a HUGE improvement over the one you met - good riddance to her! Secondo is settled in Brooklyn, and tertiare is a whole nother story - I'll pm you about it sometime. Off to college, anyway
10:52 am
Trifioso
Mr. Valentine retired a few months ago, and quickly got bored out of his damn mind, so he took a fun "little job" handing out food samples at a grocery store three days a week - he LOVES it - flirts with all the old ladies, plays with kids, comes home, forgets all about it.
10:52 am

That's good to hear. I am very fond of my son's gf. Thank goodness.
