		<description><![CDATA[Rossella and I returned to Italy the week before Christmas, having been away since June 30th. That was the longest period I&#8217;d spent out of Italy in 18 years. I was uneasy about this re-entry, expecting it to be traumatic. I thought I would be making a decision about whether I would ever willingly live [...]]]></description>

And, as usual, I&#8217;m struggling to explain to people what I&#8217;m doing and why. (The story of my life is that there is almost no question about me to which a simple answer can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I posted a message on the Expats in Italy forum about the fact that I am (partially) leaving Italy to take a job in the US.

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;ve been in Italy, I&#8217;ve gotten out of the habit of telephoning: anywhere, anyone, for any reason.
