[1]I’ve been home for 48 hours, and already the bliss of Italy is slipping away. Is it just the universe evening up the score that I returned to a jury summons (now that’s cruel) and a nagging toothache? At least I get to relive the high points when someone asks about my trip, as I describe the scrumptious food, mind-blowing scenery, and deep pleasure of walking for hours through the ancient, cobblestoned streets.
