Seven 9s and 10s

High-res GPOYW In my happy place with my rarest of guitars. It’s a ~1962 Wandre Tri-lam that belongs to my father. I don’t know the full history of the guitar, and I’m not sure how it got to America, but I can be pretty certain it didn’t come over on the same boat that he did, because he came from Italy in the late 1950’s. The funny thing is… I took this picture a few hours ago, then my dad called - out of the blue - from Florida to say hello (he spends a few winter months down there each year), and then he ended the conversation by saying “I love you.” I don’t know the last time I’ve heard him say that, to anyone.  I guess that’s pretty awesome.

In my happy place with my rarest of guitars.

It’s a ~1962 Wandre Tri-lam that belongs to my father. I don’t know the full history of the guitar, and I’m not sure how it got to America, but I can be pretty certain it didn’t come over on the same boat that he did, because he came from Italy in the late 1950’s.

I want to be either a really tan person or a really white person.

I don’t want to be red.

And I do NOT want to be polka-dotted, thank you.

Who was it that told me that Italians have no acne?

Olive. Oil. And Nutella.

No, not at the same time.

Ew.

I guess what I’m trying to say is get me some sun stat, and whoever it was that DID tell me that can go die.

My blood is 100% Italian (both parents are off-the-boat) and I can personally vouch for the fact that Italians do indeed have acne.  Also, Nutella makes me break out but that doesn’t stop me from eating it because come on, it’s Nutella.
