For a long time, VitaVagabonda was a blog about the far-from-the-Tuscan-sun, what-the-hell-happened-here, how-are-we-gonna-make-it-to-the-end-of-the-month Italy that Frances Mayes, Anthony Doerr, Marlena De Blasi, and Kinta Beevor never clamped eyes on (and which Elizabeth Gilbert never eatprayloved in). But VV has always written about other things, too, though he still has quite a lot to say about Italy. ©VitaVagabonda is copyright protected. Do not quote without permission. All rights reserved.

  1. Maybe I don't want to know...what do they say instead of "Gay?" Somehow I don't think the answer is that they are so evolved that they treat everyone as equals, so a "person" is just a "Person"
    I could almost taste those hashbrowns, and feel the sticky syrup.
    How long are you "home" for?

  2. You'd have to ask the Tennessee legislature. The senate just made it illegal to say "gay" in public schools (the point was to put an end to teaching about homosex, not to stop the little bastards who say "That's so gay" when they mean "Ooooh, gross"). Apparently the bill isn't going much further - but doesn't that say everything about Republicans these days? Not serious legislation, no serious chance of passing, but hey, look! I've just thrown a treat to all the lathering-at-the-mouth Xian conservo-freaks. Vote for me!!
