... To all the places that I love to stay ....

it is time I start to give you little warm-up for the house warming party. My neighborhood is carefully chosen since it is in walking, excuse me tip tooing, stumbling even crawling distance from my favorite bars. It was therefore a calculated risk for us to take to buy the flat with only literally less than 50 steps from the door to the first my two favorite bars.

It me be a surprise but the owners are pretty pleased with my move, especially Alain from De Cirque (The circus). A strange name for a rather nice pub bistro like place, but maybe that all changes when I enter and tend to love the flavor of my golden drink of gods: Vedette.

In De Cirque I always try to sit at the bar so I can look at all the people coming in and sitting at the tables, and of course to look at myself in the mirror and asking myself the most deep philosophical questions at 4 am into he morning after having drowned myself in to Vedette, toped off with a nice 25 year old highland Park (yes James I'm still waiting for you to come to Brussels to have a sip from our bottle). If it ever happens that I do not really see the difference anymore between fantasy and reality I tend to start to fight like a true Don Quichote with the demons on the wall .

The bar being my Rosinante, in a gallop to protect my lovely Dulcinea. In many occasions the owner tends to behave like a true Sancho Pancha trying to convince me of my delusions.

one of the last visits we had there was with Brenda and Olly, not taking a too deep dive into the drinks, but anyhow .. my god what a feeling it was again. They world is short of people with whom you can have a lenghty discussions and debates about essentially everything. From the reason why finally Karl Marx is right in his book Das Kapital to the reason why a hole in a sock is a sign of independence ....

My god do i miss it: from usability to IA and back . I remember as if it was yesterday that we discussed the concepts of the product homepages, the my phone area .... Again my dear old colleagues back to reality: you should be proud of what you achieve on the level of digital, the industry is watching and liking very much what they see.

i need to leave you for today, but more to come. So for today i wish you peace love and understanding
