Den Hague

I did a presentation in The Hague on Thursday. Had a large Grolsch in the Amsterdam airport. Delicious! That and Negra Modello were my favs in the mid 80s. With Ruffles potato chips and cottage cheese. Don't do those any more.

Still had more time before my flight back to London Town, so I browsed a video shop. Wouldn't you know it, I found Down By Law and Happiness, for cheap!

At the counter, the sales clerk held up the copy of Happiness and asked, "You've seen this one before?" I thought he may try to warn me that some people find it offensive.

Me, sheepishly: 'Uuh, yeah.'
Him: Thumbs up and a big grin on his face.

The Netherlands has great architecture. And all the Dutch people I know are so dang intelligent, casual, content, unpretentious. Speak six or seven languages fluently. Is it all the water? The low altitude?

Three day weekend here in London Town. Heavy chillin' involved.
