buongiorno. Come sta?

I have returned from the abyss.

And it is as if I never left at all.

Is that a negative of positive thing? Is it negative because my experiences on Schoolies can so easily be dwarfed by the prospect of Home? Or is it a positive thing that my home and my family provide a berth for my life, to which I forever return to after by adventures out yonder, out across the 'auspicious gales' and tempests of life's sea?

I need a camera to aid my unsatisfactory memory.

I know this - I had a wonderful, quite relaxing time.

{And I watched the V and VI Star Wars films last night (and I'm a convert!) } poor, poor Anakin.
