Snippets from explorations around the capital of Campania and environs, and not a lot of talk. These are 1000-word scenes for sure.

Turkey Day 2020

Not just this year’s Thanksgiving, but Turkey Day after Turkey Day after Turkey Day, plus my regular trenchant prose and kick-ass cooking. What’s not to love?
