Well what I should have accomplished today was to get to the register office, (as I figured out the "anagrafe" translates), to have my photos notarized.   Alas our local office, only open on Thursdays between 2:30 and 4:00, was closed at said time.  So off to the central office I went only to find that they are closed in the afternoons to permit employees to go out to the small local offices, which in our case they did not do!  Tomorrow before work I'll try to get to the central office again.  Assuming they are open. 

Yesterday when I picked Grace up from tennis I spoke to the father of one of the other kids.  He is the manager of a cinema in the city that shows films in their original languages.  I'm thrilled as I don't enjoy watching films in Italian.  I lose all the subtleties.  Plus somethings, no matter how well done, just don't translate.  Like musicals.  Or Tarantino. 

Saturday we are going up to the mountains.  Grace is taking a friend to ski with her while GP and I will snowshoe.  The place we are going borders a national park and there are many, many miles of trails.  Hope we don't get lost and have to forage for food and shelter.  If we are stranded and I die first I told GP he should go for the thighs.  xxoo me
