So, about this feast . . .

So, about this feast . . .

I have been saying in some posts now that the centerpiece of our trip is the Festa di San Michele a Soglio di Orero, which seems a jawbreaker of a title. You’ve heard enough about meals, so I’ll spend today demystifying that title; you may find it more interesting than it seems.

About the Contrarian

I’ve enjoyed two marvelous careers: first as a teacher of English and theatre (and, occasionally, psychology); and second as executive director of the North Eastern Ohio Education Association (NEOEA).

But I’ve always had other interests: public policy, parliamentary procedure, union leadership, music, genealogy, and photography. Since retiring in 2017, I’ve focused on those interests.

As is perhaps obvious, I’m still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
