Happy birthday …..

January 27, 2006

Mozart doesn’t look half bad for 250, does he? A giant birthday cake measuring more than two metres high will be unveiled during a street party in Salzburg. I am not a huge fan of cake.  But hey, I’ll go! Shares it with my Dad’s father whom I never knew but now would sorely like [...]

Contemplations

January 20, 2006

I have decided to change the style and perhaps the vibe of this journal/blog. Partly as a means for keeping it more up to date and yes, more relevant. So we’ll see.
