THE LAST DITCH
Thanks to all who voted in my poll. It’s good of you to take an interest. The result is not as clear as in the Presidential elections in Russia, but we have a winner and although I didn’t vote for it myself, on reflection, I agree with your choice. I was going to call her Speranza (hope), but Vittoria (victory) seems a name of good omen.

I did not vote for either of those but I certainly like Vittoria better than Speranza and I think it a more positive name. In a way it was a victory that you got to order it since you had overcome the doubts of Mrs TP and to promise her all the trunk space as I recall to get it.
Why won’t this thing remember me? I’ll be forced to get a typepad account to go with my worpress and blogger ones.
