I don't see where Barry was "pretending" anything. The point is...I got in hot
water for going into an ice cream shop in Arosa and buying a cuop denmark week
after week. Some crime, eh?

work, I spent a week in and around Montreux for the jazz festival. It was
amazing to be back in the country and be really able to see it for the first
time.
