This year I'm celebrating with a Pepper Polenta Pizza. Sweet corn. Sweet and hot peppers. I think Columbus would have liked this. More than 500 years later, it's still just two dollars for a great meal.

A calorie-free taste of Venice that's a great orientation tour. 12 miles (20km), six hours. Burn 2,000+ calories. Eat well, but not too much. Some fruit at the Market. Great pastries, gelato; delicious cicchetti. Less than 1,500. Way to see Venice.

The leaves are starting to show those washed out, late summer army camouflage colors. Better washed out than fallen, I guess. But not as good as bright and colorful. Press Play. Slow Forward to a brilliant start for a Sunday.
