Don't get Covid-19 no matter what you do, Castiglion Fiorentino is now the *Oakland* of Florence, I spent the morning pruning the roses and other oddball notions, confessions, etc.

This podcast is an exhortation to keep your guard up during the next few weeks as conditions improve  and the temptation will arise to relax on the coronavirus protocols, and also just a kind of rambling commentary on Italy, on myself, and on the future of the column, that is, an advice column without letters is not an advice column, it's just commentary. And though today is gorgeous and I'm happy as a kitten in the sun, it's been a kind of sucky two weeks. 
As explained in the podcast, I was kind of blocked creatively and very cranky and so walked up to Antica Caffè la Posta hoping to have a cornetto and a caffè doppio and sit and look out through the arch at the Val di Chio but of course the chairs were on the tables and I couldn't hang out inside because we are a zona arancione ... and etc.
All I can say is: Every episode can't be pure genius! But I'm trying to keep to a schedule!
