The windows now sparkle and the prospective buyers come and go. The Italians arrived and on Saturday night we went to S.O.B.'s (Sounds of Brazil), a festive nightclub where the evening's band and dancers seemed to have come right off the streets of Rio's Carnevale. On Sunday we celebrated Easter with good ol' New York bagels and lox.

I went over to corporate headquarters after a visit to the bank today. New York looks rather romantic in the rain and fog, especially downtown by the waterfront. My pension benefits all seem to be on track now and my last necessary document for the consulate (as far as I know - chi sa?) is my FBI clearance.

It's been exactly one month since my last day at work and it's exactly one month before my first day living in Italy.
