Much like, well, everyone else in the world, Italians don't need much of an excuse to drink. Thats why I wanted to make sure I made it to one of Naple's classy [*cough*] Irish pubs on my first St. Patricks Day here in Italy - to see how much of a spectacle it would become. After heading to big B
en Sosbee's one-year b-day party, we headed to the Blackstuff to see what we could see...and yeah, okay, we planned on having a few pints too.Despite the weird techno music and constant flow of pizza's (no joke), the bar was actually awesome. By 11:00 the place was packed, and its probably the first place I've seen in Naples that actually had Guiness and Harp on tap.
But alas, the spectacle of Italian drunkeness that I was hoping for never emerged; in fact, if anything, the other Americans in the bar were probably creating more of a rucus. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
Then again, our group split up and headed home a little after midnight, and the home crowd was probably just warming up at that point. I took a buddy to the airport at 0500 this morning, and we hadn't been in the car 3 minutes before I saw a little italian mercedes completely flipped upside down and spun-out on the road. It was a one car accident; but I'm sure that guy had just been drinking milk all night...
Anyway, the Ella picture-embargo continues. These tactics may be ruthless, but my resolve is strong. And Ella was awfully cute in her St. Patty's get-up...

Your Kind and Loving Father,
"Pa"
son, don't make me take this to the next level........
Oooh, I am intriqued to see where this is going.
Phil, I think your dad is bluffing. He doesn't have what it takes to "take this to the next level." It's all puffery.
What's the worse he can do? Post pictures of old girlfriends? You with your N'Sync hair-doo?
Stick to your guns.
Oh, thanks for sending those ADORABLE Ella pictures to my email account. You're right. She has grown up SOOOOOO much.
While I think it's a wee bit unfair to the rest of us, I'm all for one digging in their heels and making a war of epic porportions. Glad to see y'all are alive and well. Can we expect a guest post by the lady of the house anytime soon?

For the love of Pete, somebody send the boy a Mello Yello so we can see some new pics of the baby girl!!!!!!!!! Does it really take this long to receive a package in Italy? I'm tired of looking at the same post every day. How about an update Mr. Chockley?
