Early 2000, I joined Alfons to visit a concert of the Ebony Band, one of the leading modern music orchestras in the Netherlands. The main theme that night was typical ’30s avant-garde music from (rather unknown) Hungarian and Czech composers. … Continue reading

A Coup for huh
Aren’t coups so Eighties like? I mean, I was surprised to read that there was a military coup in Thailand. While I was aware that there was some political unrest (religious conflicts, monarchy problems) in that country, I thought the … Continue reading

Poison Ivy
The other day I was watching at our backyard and noticed that the Poison Ivy has started the Fall process, as its leaves have started colouring in that distinctive reddish colour. Amazing pretty for a poisonous plant. It’s also the … Continue reading

Fire walk uh
Earlier this morning, I decided to watch the first couple (5) episodes of ‘Twin Peaks’ (You Tube). Watching the series (conceived by David Lynch), I was surprised how good the first episodes are: I find older shows typically boring nowadays … Continue reading

Hello, CNN
For the first time in months, I decided to watch CNN’s Paula Zahn to discover that CNN has hired many new reporters. Oh Noes! The first one I didn’t recognize was Melissa Long who’s job was to present the top … Continue reading
