THE DRIVE TO, DINNER AT, ANDIAMO ITALIAN BISTRO CAPS OFF FOUR DAYS AND NIGHTS IN PHOENIX FOR MY 2ND ANNIVERSARY KIDNEY TRANSPLANT MAYO CLINIC ARIZONA...........

Noe Perez and I marked the second anniversary of my kidney transplant at Mayo Clinic Arizona on Thursday in Phoenix, with a dinner at the Andiamo Italian Bistro, the restaurant where Victor Herrera and I, had dinner in June 2009, the night of our initial interview with the Mayo Clinic Transplant Team.  It was a delightful combination of a drink , delicious Italian zuppa, (soup) for me, and insalata, (salad) for Noe; with warmed Italian bread with virgin olive oil and balsalmic vinegar; and entrees of spaghetti bolognese me, and lasagne, he; with two glasses of a super Tuscan cabernet sauvignon.  We made it our earliest night of the week and are going to our beds before 10:30 p.m.  My concluding Evaluation year 2 appointment is at 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and then our 6:55 p.m., flight back to Sacramento...........Until Morning, In Christ,   Fr.  Troy
