028 qui sono al campidoglio

Although apparently I give a good outward appearance of being Italian (people, mostly Italians, ask me for directions non-stop), I'm feeling a little frustrated with my lack of language acquisition so far. Maybe it's because Delfina's out of town this week so I'm not speaking Italian at night with her. Regardless, I'm going to the bookstore after work today to try to get some flashcards (pre-made or blank). I'm also trying to find a source for Pimsleur Italian. I may post an ad on expatriates.com.

Auburn softball moves up to #15 in this week's coaches poll. Since we are leading our division, we get the honor of coaching the All-Star game coming up in 2 weeks. Yes, I'm a little sad that I'm not there to coach the All-Star game, but I'm sure JG will do a great job.

And tonight's a big night in the Mondiale - 2 of the following 4 teams will be eliminated after tonight. Tune in at 4 pm Italy time or 10 am EST: US vs Ghana and Italy vs Czech Republic.
