Dear Alan,

finally - I'm always looking forward to your next post...

Al, I'd be more than happy if I had something like this treat that you seemingly had stowed somewhere in a remote drawer standing on my mantlepiece. Oh boy, whatever you touch is SO incredibly nice.

Can't help it, but it's always one of the first words coming to my mind: tasteful. And this one is especially soothing, too.

So: Legs on the table, a glass of good red wine, eyes closed and dream away. Thanks a lot for this wonderful one!

All the very best to Di and you - we're thinking and talking about you a lot, my friend.

Stefan
