Speedy says, "What do you mean Dad is going to Italy next week? I don't want to hear it!" Will miss this sweet girl, but looking forward to Lucca Comics, too!

Italian never ceases to surprise me. I learned a new way to say: "Good luck." / "Thanks."

I have no idea where that saying came from, but it certainly does the job.
