this one goes to the english only readers of those pages (to the extent that you exist !) and it’s just a quote from a Utah Phillips record (where Ani does all the music), for the ones of you not familiar with him, he’s a storyteller, telling stories about work, unions and all

that stuff, should you see him you’ll be reminded of the grandpa in Dukes of Hazzard, well here we go:

“i learnt when i was young that the only true life i have, was the life of my brain, but if it’s true that the only real life i have is the life of my brain, what sense does it make to hand that brain to somebody for eight hours a day for that particular use on the presumption that at the end of the day they’ll give it back in an unmutilated condition ?”

why am’i talking about work on a holiday ? well not everbody’s scratching his belly today (uhm i wonder if in english this expression makes sense), many people today are working, maybe for the Euro changeover, as my friend Giuseppe, c’mon guy ,hold on, you’re there alone in the office but my thoughts are with you ! keep doing that damn good job.
