On the day of Midsummer, the longest day, the shortest night, the Sun is at His peak. May His blessings be with you, my friends, and with your friends, and with their friends. May your summer be filled with fun, serenity, happy travels and holidays, laughter and health, and free of sweat, mosquitoes and sunburns :)

Who do you tell your secrets to?

I don't have so many secrets, I don't harm anyone (or at least I try not to) so I don't have a big need to keep secrets... My partner, anyway, knows them all, because I have a total faith in him.

What's the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome within the last 24 hours?
Submitted by ILoveYouMr.Dragon.

The biggest obstacle yesterday was... indecision. We had already something in mind for the holidays, but we wanted to avoid airplanes. Because of my partner's tour we took so many,  this year... we were always here there and everywhere. We were planning to rest, just a week in the mountains, doing pretty nothing all day.

Then I suddenly receive an email from the japanese flight company with a really exceptional offer... a price never heard of.

We thought. Then we thought some more. And then again.

Then we went to their travel agency and BOOKED HOLIDAYS TO JAPAN!!!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

I feel a bit crazy, but I'm SO GLAD!!!

Would you rather be rich or famous?

Neither one. I prefer people love me for who I am, not for who they think I am, or for what I have.

What do you plan to do when you retire?

I have half an idea that I'll move from Italy to San Francisco. It's a lovely place, I love the climate, the views, the people, there are a lot of correligionaries (the pagan community is very active, and I would like to spend part of my time, when I retire, being useful taking care of a temple), the music scene is very active too, and for my partner, who is a guitarist, that would be good. Who knows, I could really do that, if health and wealth allow me....

What is your favorite vacation destination to visit?

Definitely Rimini. I used to go there as a child and it'a kind of second hometown to me... Every other holiday is a "travel", but if I think "holifday", which means relaxation, fun, good food, nice people, careless days of reading a good book on the beach under my sun umbrella, of browsing the thousands of little shops lined on the beach street, open air cinemas and dolphin aquarium.... well, that's Rimini. I recognize every small detail, I ate at least one ice cream in every ice cream shop, I played hours on end in every videogame arcade (and they still recognize me and give me some extra token to play heheheheh, call me loyal customer... I've been playing in the same place for more than 30 years!).

Every year when summer starts, the news on TV show the first beach goers... and as soon as I see "my" beach on the tv, I start sighing like mad... and sooner or later I find at least 2-3 days to go there, I miss it so much when I dont...

that's me in Rimini, 1975 ;)

What's your favorite midnight snack?

 

A small piece of cheese, or 2-3 slices of cold cuts. Absolutely without bread. Or, a couple of bread slices, browned on the flame, with a drop of oil and some tomato paste.

What never fails to make you laugh?

Wile E. Coyote cartoons.... I think I've seen them all, but I can't help laughing my head off every time!

If you had to be named after one of the 50 states, which would it be?

oh well, since my name is FloraSol, I suppose I'd be Florida... but since my partner's name is Giorgio, I could also be Georgia...

Are you doing anything special to celebrate Easter?

absolutely not, as it is a christian holiday. And the most bgoring of the year, in my opinion.
