Dear Shaded Viewers,
Dear Diane,
I am now laying in my Nolita bed looking at a clear sky at sunrise. The weather is perfect and it’s warmer than in Milan.
Before leaving, yesterday, I decided not to bring the Christman present I had for my mother (my family is here in NY these days too) because I feared it could brake or they wouldn’t let me take it onboard in the hand luggage. 
It’s a porcelain woodpecker statue by Nymphenburg manifacture, in Munich. The coolest porcelain in all the world. I bought it last july in Germany. Today I will check out Ted Muehling’s shop here in Crosby street to compare prices…
Our flight was very late and we watched Scoop, by Woody Allen. After that, I got bored and started drawing on my laptop.
I hate flying on airplanes. It feels soooo old. And aircraft ARE getting old.
Checking the e-mail, I found this image by a friend of mine, he’s an artist. Giovanni de Francesco. It’s a sort of Christmas card he just did, I thought you might like to add it to this years’ collection.
Later,
Beniamino
