Today nothing "artistic", just one shot to express the immense satisfaction and pride I feel as a father. Enrico was assigned the task of inventing something that could be used in everyday life and to build it. His idea has materialized in two days of work, drawing it, going around to look for the stuff he needed and the assembling it. So, the "Super Grabber " has born!
Today he had to show his creation to the public and has been a great success, the idea has liked and he has enjoyed to explain how it works and how he built it.
Was a spectacle for me to observe him, to see how rapidly his mind is growing up and looking at him from one corner of the room, without interfering, I was nearly moved by the thought that soon he will be a man and I will have a new friend.
I love you so much my little man.

One of my other big passions is golf, I just love it. The game is not what you play on the court, is not the final result to me, is the game itself that require a lot of concentration and keep your mind out of everything else for 4 or more hours. When you there on the ball, nothing else matter, your by yourself and the first and most challenging opponent is no other than yourself.
This week will be a big tournament for us that work in the oil business and I'm looking forward to play in it with some of my good friends.

Second session with the music band, this is a shot taken while the guys where playing around during a set change......
We needed a second session because on the first one element of the band was missing and also because it was a lot of fun and we still had ideas to explore.

Some days I feel that nothing is right with me, there is not a single thing I like of myself, not even feel being the one I always thought I was. I look at me reflected in the mirror and can't recognize the light in my eyes, is not the one that used to be mine, it doesn't look familiar to me. Those days I wonder: is like this that people see me? So, who I really am?
