I am traveling to Syracuse and Rome next weekend to celebrate my uncle's 91st birthday since his celebration last year was interrupted by a fall and a subsequent broken neck. I will need to connect with my sister before we start packing. It was more summer than fallish today here but it was a glorious walk.
