A Magic Cap

By Nick Montefreddo

Here you are again, my dear friends, this is your affectionate Micky Delt speaking.
What's that? You find my introductions somewhat peculiar? That's normal.
Could it be... that you're craving some extraordinary adventures set within Coldmount Street, aren't you?
Come on in, my dear readers-my stories will never disappoint you.
Indeed, they will always offer you something precious.
Whether you love sports or not, I'm sure you'll appreciate the true essence of sportsmanship present in my tales.
Yes, the kind of sport I envision is a virtuous discipline, practiced in the realm of the Fantastic and the Wondrous, where all arduous virtues meet their fulfilling and invigorating rewards.
The sporting framework of this adventure will take the shape of baseball.
A sport, an adventure that also mirrors this very earthly life: a grand teamwork effort to reach home base-like a glorious return to one's home, earthly & celestial.

Well then, back to us...
Shall we pay a visit to our Doug?
Our kid has left a chaotic metropolis and has just moved with his family to Santeramo in Colle,
a small hilltop town.
You can find him at 137 Coldmount Street.

His new friend Nick, with all his "greeniness" (not surprisingly they call him Nick Greenie),
whom he has just met in that great street where anything is possible,
will be delighted to show him all the wonders that a small place like that can hide and treasure.
There's a chance to come across some special gaps among the dry-stone walls that dot the Alta Murgia landscape.
A small canyon and a stone igloo, along the Haunted Doll path.
An abandoned railroad...

And the magical cap? Ah, details...
Oh well, of course, that's one of my personal effects.
Yes, I wear that too, alongside my top hat, in full sporting spirit and utmost sincerity.
One of my special touches, undoubtedly.

Whether you're reading under a tree, in bed, or in an armchair by the fireplace; on a train, in the park, or flying in an airplane; at school, home, or your office... wherever you are, my hats off to you
Make yourselves comfortable-my story is about to begin...
