This is the last picture I'm going to post from my Italy trip. (I'm saving a half dozen or so for the magazine articles I'm writing).
This is Pesaro's fountain at night. We left six hours after this picture was taken.

The Streets of Italy
The thing that I really found interesting in this part of Italy was how narrow the streets were. This one was in Urbino...

Catching Hell
If you saw "Catching Hell" last night on ESPN, you saw a moment in our history that wasn't exactly Cubs fans finest hour.
