		<description><![CDATA[At this time of year, Italy&#8217;s newsstands offer a variety of calendars to suit every taste, from fast cars to naked women. But this one startled me, not least because it would seem to be in violation of Italy&#8217;s law against apologia del fascismo (&#8220;apology for Fascism&#8221;), which prescribes penalties against whoever &#8220;pubblicamente esalta esponenti, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My life is lived in multiples.

I've read books, articles, and blogs about multicultural marriage, living, and child-raising. I have written about being a third-culture kid, raising a bilingual child, and living and trying to work in a foreign country.

But this is the big question, more difficult than any of the above: how can a marriage survive being made up of two people whose careers are equally important to each? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On March 31st, 2008, my residence in Italy was officially revoked. This was easy to accomplish. A few days before, Enrico and I had gone together to Lecco&#8217;s Ufficio dell&#8217;Anagrafe (I guess a reasonable translation would be &#8220;Population Records Office&#8221;). This is where you go to record transfers of residence (within Italy), births, deaths, and marriages. To [...]]]></description>

And, as usual, I&#8217;m struggling to explain to people what I&#8217;m doing and why.

This has engendered much discussion, and has raised some points that I want to expand on. Simo, an Italian now resident in the US, wrote: [...]]]></description>
