The latest:

I am seeing lots of emails from people asking me to like this or that, or inviting me to this or that, etc. on Facebook. But - I can't access FB from Shanghai (well - I can - but I need a VPN, etc.).

So please forgive me if you don't hear back from me.

And yes, this will post on my wall, because I post it on my blog that then sends it to FB but that all happens on US servers, etc.

What doesn't work - FaceBook, Twitter, Blogger, Feedburner, YouTube. So I can't blog on the thing I set up for the trip http://smartnosherymakesyouslobber.blogspot.com (though Ellen is trying to help me). And I can't respond to anyone on Facebook. And I probably can't post videos anywhere either.

So I may just start posting stuff here, and maybe leave a note on the Shanghai blog so if anyone is interested they can find it.

It is Saturday afternoon, we are here at the museum for a "soft" private opening of the exhibit for the Italian delegation from the Expo. Tomorrow is the official opening. Monday I may get out and about finally.

Here is my latest painting:

So it looks like I will be going to Shanghai with some friends from Florence. I started a blog about it where I am going to note all my planning and then report for the 2 weeks I am there: Two Weeks In Shanghai

Not sure what finally possessed me to do this, but I starting putting some work up the Saatchi site - Anthony Finta. So I am out - I am an artist.

On a hot day in August we drove down to Panzano to jump in the pool of our friend Cosimo at Fattoria Rignana. Of course, it started to rain not long after!

I think I have to come up with a new word that describes things you find on your computer - digital ephemera - that you have no recollection of: files, photos, video clips, etc. that most times I can't even remember taking or making. I just came across this picture of us on our bed in St. Thomas. I was using my old Sony Hi-8 cam as a web cam, and I guess this was a test screen cap. Why this was in a folder for a Mexican website I was working on I have no idea...
