Great to hear from you! Enjoyed the videos. Was wondering if you’d missed the boat when we relocated the “team”.

Thanks guys. As I said everything is doing well, except the western world is becoming an open air asylum any day more and although I'm pretty good in handling changing this time is pretty hard. My blame anyway, probably I didn't do enough to stop this escalation and I'm really sorry for the world I'm leaving to my kids. Hope they could forgive me and my generation and hope something good can happen there in November (as I always said USA drives the whole western world). But stop with my polemic and hateful attitude, something more light front this side of the pond and I must give you a couple answers... As I said everything is doing well: me and wife have done 20 years of marriage (our Sicilian brief trip was to celebrate anniversary), kids are grown well and healthy, they are both straight (it wouldn't be a drama if not, but I prefer this way ) and I'm evaluating to retire early (at 60, now I'm 58) and enjoy the good things of life until I can (sex, food, hunting, fishing and enjoying beautiful places and the Nature). Who knows? I will update you on the topic. And yes Scott, mount Etna hiking has been amazing, a life changing experiencing. The hiking is not really hard (not for everyone of course, over 3000 meters of elevation - about 10,000 feet - a good shape and technical knowledge are mandatory) but on the top of the volcano you can feel the real and tremendous power of the Nature. Then you get down very very humbled. For about 20/30 seconds (that it looked like three hours) we went under the wind and we did breath the eruption gas (probably a mix between sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and others) and we weren't able to breath, like we were in an alien planet or under water. Although the guides had warned us about the risk it was a horrible feeling and a big effort keep the control and don't panic. I always had the awareness that Nature can kill us in few moments but I had the most clear evidence of my whole life. It was at the same time one of the most scaring and one of the most enlightening experience I had. Anyway if you guys would have the opportunity to hike Etna (or any other active volcano) don't miss the opportunity, it's simply breathtaking (also literally, sometime ). Nope David, my last time in Eleuthera was in 2020 (before the plandemic). On April my buddies went (and as usual they had great time) but I couldn't join them. My parents are now really old (both 92) and although much more in shape than Brandon they need continuously assistance and presence. I will come back to Eleuthera, perhaps, when the circle of the life will close. Anyway meantime I had some brief fishing trip in our awesome Sardinia and let me say that we are lucky enough to have one of the best Caribbean simulation at home. Some picture from Sicily I didn't put in the videos

Come back around when you get a chance. Good to hear from you. I've been to the volcano national park on the island of Hawaii. It was something to see and smell all the sulphur. The calderas are much bigger than you think they are going to be. I didn't want to get close.
