Lisette and I listen to the radio station Q-music whenever we cross the border to go to Brussels…and that’s practically every day. Right before we left to go to LA about three and a half months ago they had a contest where you had to guess a sound. It went on and on every day, [...]
You’re a CNN weatherman, you’ve been up the last 48-hours tracking the storm that can make your career like Desert Storm did for Peter Arnett, and that anchor bitch keeps interrupting your carefully prepared report… It’s only human you will start to lose control at some point!
!@(superdome.jpg popimg: “Click the picture to enlarge”)New Orleans is fleeing for hurricane Katrina. It hasn’t been since 1969 that a hurricane has hit New Orleans head-on.

Thursday Lisette and I both dropped in at our previous employers for a surprise visit. It was great seeing ex-colleagues again and catch-up on what happened with us in the US and what happened at their end. We both had lunch there and ended-up hanging around a little longer than expected; the whole afternoon. I’m [...]

Day 1 - 11:30 PM
Tommorrow we are suppose to fly back to Brussels…but we have a layover in Heathrow and fly British Airways. Now you might have noticed in the news, flying through Heathrow on BA is not the best thing to do right now! So far our flight has not yet been cancelled. We [...]
