Sorry gang, not much new going on these days in the Old World. I am therefore writing absolute crap as filler until something meaningful does happen. Plus there's that my main commenter is currently on vacation somewhere warm for the next week and a half or so. Can't say I don't envy that at the moment. We have had a week-long break in the dreariness of winter with sunny skies. Of course, I was advised very early on that typical winter is grey overcast unless it is very, very cold.

Travel blitz for the year begins around the end of this month with Copenhagen, continues when Bill gets here in May to Berlin, goes skiing the weekend after in Austria, and then waits until the end of May for Memorial Day in Florida. I think August will finally force me to make the obligatory trip to Amsterdam. I'll put up a couple of pictures of the artwork from Copenhagen after it heals...

I did have a bit of an odd thing last week. I got a compliment on my watch at work. Any idea what it takes to get a compliment on anything over here, much less a time piece?
