Carol Perkins: Advenures in Italy, Part 3 Read all of Carol's Adventures in Italy: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 By Carol Perkins After our trip to Naples and Pompeii, we went back to the hotel to pack for Florence, the next leg of our trip. I can tell this truth about Guy because he knows it: when he is in a hurry (such as checking in and out of a hotel), he gets in a tizzy. I suggested he wait by the luggage while Noah and I checked out. After the desk clerk called a cab, the guys took our luggage to the sidewalk to wait. I got in the cab and left the boys to oversee the luggage. At the train station, the cab driver unloaded the bags and sped away. I looked around and my carry-on was missing, which contained my CPAP machine. "Did we leave a bag in the taxi? My carry on is gone," I announced in a panic. Guy had helped to unload, so he knew it wasn't in the trunk. Then Noah calmly said, "I think you left it beside the chair in the hotel. That's where it was." Guy hailed a cab back to the hotel, retrieved the bag, and caught up with us. This took an extra hour. Off we went to Florence, arriving as the sun was setting. In booking our hotel, I chose one that was supposed to be "just minutes" from the center of the famous Duomo (dome).

Governor's Office hires fourth attorney Governor Bevin continues an uprecedented reliance on hired legal counsel, bypassing the state's elected Attorney General, with whom he has clashed nearly constantly while in office. By Nicole Burton Frankfort, KY - Stephen Pitt, General Counsel to Governor Matt Bevin, announces a restructuring of the Office of General Counsel, effective immediately, as the result of the hiring of a fourth attorney in the Office, Brett Nolan. Mr. Nolan, a native of Lexington, Kentucky, is a graduate of the University of Kentucky and the University of Chicago Law School. He clerked for U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell prior to joining the law firm of Dinsmore and Shohl, LLP in its Lexington Office. In 2017, he joined the Bevin Administration as General Counsel in the Finance and Administration Cabinet. He left that position in the summer of 2018 to serve as a law clerk to Judge John Nalbandian, whom President Trump had recently appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
