Rene, If I had been around I surely would have joined you for that coffee and a dream. As is I am sitting at the airport in ' sunny' Dayton, Ohio, waiting for my flight out. Now is you are still in Amsterdam on Sunday, let me know and I will drag my jetlagged body over to meet you for coffee and dream2.
