Zio Tony, Let's Go!

Allora, I'm sitting back in my Milano appartamento after a few hectic months ... tribulations of setting up work & home in Italy, whirlwind of wonderful visits with family & friends, and a haphazard training program that at least got me through another Ironman France ... and thinking, "Ok, what do I do next?"

For me, that's really an important question because I know my "dark side" and if I don't answer it with some sort of plan or goal that keeps me occupied, Grumpy Uncle Tony takes over. So in that sense, that's a really important question for you too because noooo-body likes ole' Grumpy T.

The formula is quite simple: A place to go + Something to do + Something to think about (yes, eating counts, and sometimes subtitutes for thinking) = Happy Uncle Tony :)

So, this "Zio Tony, Let's Go!" blog is your place to post comments asking me to scout out a place or meddle in something Italian that you're curious about. I'd like to hear anything you have in mind, from tipping me off on your favorite apertivo to throwing down the gauntlet for a real Zio Tony adventure. If I get stumped on what to do, I'll post a poll and let you decide!

As I follow up on your ideas (or dares), I'll use the "Zio Tony Let's Go" label to tag posts that take you along with me. That way you can locate them (or return to this one) using the "Zio Tony's Find-a-Blog" along the left side bar of the homepage.

I guess that makes a plan for making some plans, so, Let's Go!
