from Vienna. Via Fussen and Salzburg, where The Sound of Music still shows daily at the youth hostel. Thank god I'm outta that hell hole! Seriously, Europe is fantastic, they sell beer everywhere! Even at internet cafes.
Right now actually, I am in an internet cafe drinking an Ananas-Grapefruit-Aloe Vera Balance fruit drink, which is so unlike like me. Anyway, there is a point to this post, which is so unlike me. On this bottle it says Weingartenpfirsich-Pimpernelle. I have no idea why. Perhaps someone with too much time on their hands, and free internet, can find out what the meaning is. And hopefully it's funny.
See you kids soon.

I'm sure you will totally appreciate Spamalot, in any case--you
should definitely catch it. I'm sure it is coming to Toronto
eventually. I just saw it in Boston, it's great. Great spoof of all
that middle ages stuff along with modern show business, etc. You
know what they say, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat
it, so now you know the past and you're totally up on the present too
so you will know whether GWB & Co. are making the same mistakes as
all those medieval people did. I know, it's a stretch, but I was
trying to tie your interest in medieval history with your interest in
the news and it isn't working very well.
