I have been three times at La Scala,
but only after its rennovation and transferring
to the new Teatro degli Arcimboldi,

The 3D typography ("Teatro degli Arcimboldi") out of the
building is designed (I think) with Bruce Rogers' Centaur.

A friend from Poland, Dorota, sent me a DVD,
"Czesc Tereska" ("Hi Teresa").

I have seen it in Polish, with English subtitles,
I have seen it at my sister`s, while my sister
and her family took a walk somewhere on the hills.
I was fussing, that movie it is romantic but hopeless,
it is one of the best film I have ever seen.
I had my birthday cake with all my family,
a cake with strawberries and slices of banana,
it was really good.

Today, in the afternoon, I took the bike and went downtown,
just to buy my favorite tobacco, "Van Nelle."
There, one the way back, I met my good friend Alberto,
and it was really nice to talk with him.
We planned a bike trip (we both ride racing bikes,
but this year, nor me or him had the time to train).

Here is my grazie, set in Ernesto Hemingway,
the typeface family I designed for my MA thesis.

Festeggiato! I am glad you enjoyed your day. May you have many more. My daughter just had her 20th birthday last week. We allso watched a DVD (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). It was far less sad and reminded me of my silly upbringing.

I envy you being able to visit La Scala when you wish. I am an opera fanatic. I am studying the role of Giorgio in Bellini's "I Puritani". My wife gave me singing lessons as a birthday present 2 years ago. I am just starting to sing at an age when most people retire from it.

Your "Ernesto Hemingway" is quite free and alive. You should do many more types.

Grazie Mr. Chris Lozos!

Buon compleanno anche a lei.

I have been in Vienna twice.
I was with a beautiful girl, so it was double awesome.
Once I've been at Wiener Staatsoper (www.wiener-staatsoper.at)
watching "Cosi fan tutte" (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart);
and at Musik Verein (www.musikverein.at/).
Have you been? You would love a trip in Vienna.

Sadly, I have never been to Vienna. Perhaps I will be able to go when my children finish College. I am sure your father would understand what it takes to educate his children.

I did sing the role of Don Alphonso, the playful old philosopher in "Cos� fan tutte"

Happy birthday...
E in culo alla balena per la tesi!

"You are old, father William," the young man said,
   "And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head--
   Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
   "I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
   Why, I do it again and again."

The 3D typography ("Teatro degli Arcimboldi") out of the building is designed with De Faccio's Rialto (in my opinion).

You posted three, dude!
AH AH!

>(and nice lettering, Alice!)<
You should see the beautiful work on Alice's web site! She brings caligraphy to a whole new place for the western world. Her strokes have that knowing, sure, expression of Far Eastern masters yet make a gentle marriage with the Latin alphabet.
