Note
This club is tough. One day I go from feeling marginalized to enjoying to be part of a cool group of guys. Didn't get a chance to go training but did get out to the going away party for Pavel, which included a beer-O. Good fun, great company.
On an completely unrelated note, I often get messages to one of my e-mail addresses from people who incorrectly think my address is someone else. Recently I've started getting e-mails from a German business man on a regular basis. He's clearly gone on some sort of vacation/business trip to the US and has been sending regular updates back to "Vera". He's also never been to N.A. before and is quite amazed by all the things he's seen. His most recent e-mail was funny enough that its definitely worth sharing:
"In 24 hrs we will take off directly to Kork-City. NY is a fascinating metropole, but also fullY crazy. It is the melt pot of money, biz, Rush, day and night running around, no contemplation, everything is possible and impossible. People of all colors. Most of them ugly and fat, nearly no elegance, all in the same sport shoes of. Nike or Reebok, black people with blond hair, Japanese witch red hair, whithe with rasta. Everybody wants to be somebody else, poverty and wealth on the same pavement, of lot of druggies, sometimes One thinks to be out side of this planet. And immenselY expensive. Paris is cheap in comparison. I am glad to hear y soon on The phone."
