    I'm back! :D Have not slept in ten days and actually had three hours of spare time to act like a tourist there... Too many concerts and performances to count... :rolleyes:

    Now, the good thing of this work is that after a tour like that there's enough money for living without working for six months! [​IMG]

    Chicago and Detroit.

    It's my mother... (a Mediterranean-style mother) :rolleyes:

    Just let me read the book first! ;)

    Thanks a lot, Za! Better for them to clap! The least you can do for someone who sings for three hours in a row in falsetto (OUCH!) is clapping!

    Not after three hours... (ask Christa!) ;)

    Yes, he did. I sent him to book shops with a huge list and the American Express. Of course he sneaked out to some Gothic caffés and Record Shops...

    In case I accidentaly missed it... are you going to hit me? :(

    Ooops! I'm so sorry, Ducetta. I completely forgot about you. I'd love having met you... But where exactly do you live? I went to Toronto and Vancouver and Canada happens to be a little big...

    Thanks all, anyway! Now, back to WWII!

    Hey, Good to see you back, Fried! Two weeks flew by! Great that the tour was such a big succes! When is the European tour coming up????

    Sounds like my kind a job; work for two weeks, not working for 6 months...I could do with that! [​IMG]

    Check out the forums, there is a lot of catching up to do. We are faced with some possible 'defections' to another forum which we have to quell( ;) [​IMG] :D ) and have two members now in a warzone; V-slav in Iraq and Steve in Afganistan! :eek:

    So, it is good to have you back in one piece!

    Oh, and how many books did you get this time??? [​IMG]

    Thanks for the comment, Stevin! ;) We should definately re-start contact by MSN or PM... [​IMG]

    I don't know. But I'm looking forward to it. It would have to be Lisbon —to meet Miguel—, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam —to meet you and Richard—, London —to meet Martin, 9 and Gordon—, Berlin, Helsinki —to meet Kai! :D But I hope it won't be two weeks long! [​IMG]

    Actually I'm being foolish here... since I still have the History teacher job —until June, since I'm dropping it then— and have many local opera-tours and concerts and rehearsals five times times a week... :rolleyes: Remember that this is the real world and there's no easy way of making money!

    Mrrr... [​IMG] Ehem... Kind of... sort of... like... ehem... forty... :rolleyes: [​IMG]
