In addition to taking care of this little Pizzanella, other nonvocational activities include

• playing basketball (and spraining/breaking limbs every few months),
• playing violin (with fellow musical butchers as part of The Largettes' string trio), and
• playing with sharp objects and blunt instruments (see violin, above) via gradiosely conceived backyard and landscaping projects (think birdhouse on steroids).

Anche parlo un po Italiano (la moglia mia era una cittadina di Pesaro)--pero quella Pizzanella di sopra parla piu di me (e piu brava). . .
