Why Black Knight

The name Black Knight comes from this famous joke in roman slang. A man tells this story:
The Black Knight and the White Knight make a duel and the Black Knight kills the White Knight. Now the White Knight had 3 sons, they challenge the Black Knight to a duel and the Black Knight kills all of them. Now they had 3 sons each and the 9 White Knights challenge the Black Knight to a duel but the Black Knight kills of all them. Now they had 3 sons each and the 27 White Knights challenge the Black Knight to a duel but the Black Knight kills all of them.
Please stop the story, what do you mean, what is the moral?
The moral is: "Don't piss off the Black Knight"!!!!!!!!!

August 15th - Feast of the Assumption

Running again. In Italy aug. 15th is a national holiday, the feast of the Assumption. I spent the day at the Bolsena Lake with my wife. In early morning (06.30 a.m.) the temperature was perfect and unusual for this period (18.3 C - 65 F), so I had the possibility to make a "normal" workout by the lake, inside the wood and through the scenic ancient town of Capodimonte.
At last now I can run regularly even if slowly and for no more than 10 km. Better times will come. 


The celebrations. At 11.00 p.m. we attended, sitting on the shores of the lake, at the fireworks show. It was really amazing.





The town was crowded since the day before with outdoors markets and street food.


Pets. With pride I introduce you my sweet cat, the king of the garden and the owner of the house:
