Now, see, that's what I said. And obviously, I'd rather go with the original. It's just that I have no money, and hitch-hiking to Italy is a lot harder than hitch-hiking to New York.

Oh how I wish I'd been out there for that conversation.

Have fun this week! :)

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
