FORMAL DINNER

Last night we attended the end-of-summer formal dinner here where everyone got dressed up and we paid $25 each to be treated to a formal sit down buffet. Impossible? Well. We went in an orderly (more or less) fashion up to the buffet table and helped ourselves while the music played and our official Baia Ranella singer sang her US oldies. Then on the big screen was projected the slides of the rest of the summer (which we had missed being away and all). Flowers were passed out to all the ladies, and a good time was had by all. We left early to get home to see The Sopranos (in Italian) on TV at quarter after midnight. They will not show it earlier so that anti-defamation people will not get too angry about the US depiction of Italians. Also shown very late are Sex in the City and Saturday Night Life (the last is in ENGLISH dubbed Italian, the only mainstream station show like that.). Sarah Jessica Parker sounds cute in Italian!
