Ciao Veronica en Milano

Going to Milan for an private art collection showing of a thriving London-based Russian painter isn't too common for people in my line of work, a blue-collar Merchant Mariner, however, I just couldn't justify staying home in LA and doing nothing instead.   

I did tell Veronica

the other month in San Francisco that I would attend over our Polynesian cocktail at Fairmont's basement Tikki lounge

. I'm such a stickler for keeping my word, odd.
