[http://translate.google.com/translate\_t](http://translate.google.com/translate_t) Hopefully, that’s the Google page with a fill-in-the-blank type thing. It may not be perfect, but it should work. ---

I tried one of the electronic translators, but from what little italian I do know, I can tell it’s pretty far off. ---

Yep, I can do it for you. My email’s available if you don’t want to post it here. Don’t go with the e-translators, they really don’t work that well. ---

Email sent back. Actually two. One to say I’d do it tomorrow cause I was signing off and then one with the translation cause the Italian Catholic guilt got to me. You’re trying to impress an Italian girl, how could I not? 😃 Good luck! And let us know how it turns out! ---

I just want to publicly thank you again, **Salem**. That was really nice of you. I’m definitely going to score some points with this one. ---

I could help too, but the Italian I speak is mostly a Sicilian dialect, which might enrage her and kill any chance you ever had. Cursed Northerners 😃
