Hi Hans,

thanks for your kind reply. Yes, it's been a very long time that I lived in Noord-Holland - 45 years ago and I really had planned then to stay there for good; was even already immatriculated at the A'dam university. But 'Dis go dis way, dis go dat way...'

Of course I have visited NH very often since then, but meanwhile going places is no longer an option: I'm just a very tiny step ahead of total blindness, can't even leave the house without someone escorting me and there isb't any more fun in going places, to be honest: I find it more and more scary. So any BIAB lovers convention in Haarlem will have to take place without me. frown

But I am so glad that in 2016 I found BIAB and Camtasia as a video app and now I spend a lot of time in front of my giant monitor using the mag glass - for me it's a wonderful way of spending my time doing things I like a lot: writing and producing music, throwing some humor into all my productions, wortking on the PC and having the people around me I like best starring in my videos. And the very best is, that I can do all that together with Maha who unfortunately has been very ill for six months now and improving very slowly with many setbacks. But aside of these sorrows things could definitely be worse.

Oh yes: Who's the older one of us? I've just turned 68.

I'm looking forward to you next production.

Take care,

Stefan

PS: Omdat ik Nederlands altijd een heel leuke taal vondt (alleen maar de grappige idioms zoals 'in de zoep rijden' of ' geen vingers in de pap hebben' enz., en een geweldige schat van uitstekende vloeken cool ) heb ik het toen tamelijk snel geleerd en vanaf het begin geen Duits of Engels meer gesproken. Toen had ik blijkbaar, wat ze 'een talenknobbel' noemden, dus dat ging heel goed. Maar ondertussen ben ik veel vergeten en ik zou het dus erg leuk vinden, om met jou af en toe op z'n Hollands te communiceren, maar natuurlijk aleen maar, als jij dat ook aardig zou vinden en dan okk per PM
