Thanks Lance...I'll freeze my A$$ off, and it's closed for the winter. So indoor Augustiner or be a tourist at the Hofbrau. I'll tip a glass of wine for you tonight, Lance!

Oops, sorry Dr. Marm. Indoor Augustiner. Only because of it being more what the locals would do (from the way you described the tourist approach) Congrats on those two finds Dr. Marm!! Can I assume you don't get to bring them home and keep them at your house? Thanks for the glass of wine thought!

Marm, how about a rousing medley of "In Old Bavaria" and "Der Guten Tag Hop Clop" Or you could go around asking everyone where the Cabaret is? "Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! Fremde, etranger, stranger. Gluklich zu sehen, je suis enchante, Happy to see you, bliebe, reste, stay." Glad that in addition to enjoying some wonderful old world music you are sharing some wonderful American musical theatre. I still listen to my Wicked CD regularly. As for which bier hall...I'd go to the less touristy one.

Memphis weather for Saturday........... Saturday Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs in the lower 60s. ACK!!!!!! and we are doing the Memphis Belle. Maybe by the time Saturday gets here, at least the sun will be shining. Tnt, better dress warm just in case!! Scoots, I'm getting that hug from Tnt and sending one back to you by her, k? Marm, go for the non-tourist one. Probably more friendly. But either one sounds like fun. I love traveling with you and Juju!!

Uh, Granny? The only Memphis Belle I know about is a real old airplane. What Memphis Belle are y'all doing and what are you going to do to it? I need to know if I'm going to spread the word.

That's better, Granny! My instincts told me it was a riverboat but my search wasn't! This will help. Hope y'all have a blast! Tnt is a dynamo and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet anywhere.

Ok, I'm home from the opera. Tonight was Mozart's 'Cosi von Tutti' a farce about sisters and their boyfriends and disguises and swapping. Who said that opera is boring? Ate a piece of 'mit nehmen' (take out) veggetarian pizza at the hotel. Didn't even have time to eat it all, so what's left will make a great midnight snack. It was a gender bender day today.....Last night I saw two gay guys kissing at the opera. Today, the lady in charge of research at the Zentrum was dressed in rather spiffy men's pants, vest, shirt and tie. She pulls it off. I've never seen her in 'girls' clothes. At the opera tonight two lesbians were snuggling in the standing room section across the aisle from me. For a bit, I thought that I was at 'Caberet' in Berlin! Just checking, YUP, I have on 'girly' clothes....black suede long skirt and jacket and fashionable but comfy heels. I couple of sequins and sparkly beads on my black sweater. Spent most of the day scanning radio programs and sorting the rest of the children's compositions. No real finds, just two manuscript pages of Gunild Keetman. I'm glad that the sorting is finished. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out whether Frau Orff will give me permission to scan the children's compositions or whether I will have to take notes by hand. Let's hope for scanning! I'm getting excited about the biergarten tomorrow. Augistiner it is! Oh, and by the way, a $5 bottle of wine bought at the grocery store in the train station....well, let's just say that I'm not sure that I got my money's worth! Granny, Tnt et all...enjoy the Memphis Queen! I've been on that boat, and many other riverboats. Write up a great report! Hugs to everyone....and will SOMEONE PLEASE spoil Survivor for me on Thursday? Danke!

The technology available today is something else. On the way home this afternoon my cell phone rings. It is Moondance calling me and giving me some information about her wedding that is taking place in about five weeks. It turns out she is sitting poolside in a bikini in Hawaii with an adult beverage that has one of those cute little oriental parasols in it. Her soon to be husband has taken her with him on a business trip and of course she is taking care of her business...the upcoming wedding. Moonie is holding a phone that has picture capabilities and I ask her to take a picture and send it to me. The lecherous old man in me is thinking I can will get a glimpse of her in this bikini and she is thinking of sending a photo of the pool. Well, I never received the picture of a bikini or the pool but she did promise to send a picture so I will check my email in the morning. Moonie doesn't have access to the internet via computer but she can send some things through her phone. I suppose Juju left her phone at home, cause I never heard from her while she was in Hong Kong.

Check the 'Facts about you' thread for my latest escapades. I'm really tired this afternoon, and since I ate out for lunch, I might save the biergarten for tomorrow. Ooooo good news, I got permission from Frau Orff to scan the children's compositions. This is great news and will save me HOURS of time. I will not get my work finished in the next two days.

OK, I crapped out on the Augustinter Bier Garten Restaurant (named after the monks of St. Augustin, I believe....Tess could check it for me) and I ate a plate of Bavarian sausages, Kraut, and tators at the Restaurant of the Hofbrauhaus. Lance would like to know what kind of bier I had, I'm sure. Well, it was a dunkle weiss bier (dark wheat beer) and it was QUITE yummy. The whole meal was 12 Euros including tip. Not bad. My other option was to get a half a chicken at the train station, as it is on sale on Thursday. In the last two days I have scanned over 350 images. I'm tired and so is my scanner! I spent another two hours looking at pictures for a magazine spread for Gunild Keetman's birthday...SHEESH! On the DATING front, and only because I know that inquiring minds want to know....I will be going out for a beer (and probably food) with the MAN tomorrow. It is a very stressful week for both of us. It was hugs goodbye this evening, and he is probably still at the office, as they are organizing two concerts next week. The man who works on the database and who is a theater teacher returned my 'Wicked' CD and gave me a copy of 'Mr. President' by Irving Berlin. I also got several magazines from the Zentrum. I am going to have to do a tight packing job to get the suitcases closed. It is a beautiful evening here in Munich. Not as cold, and the sun was shining a bit today. I can only work until 3 tomorrow, so I will have to be fast at scanning. (Then out for my beir date.) My plane leaves at noon on Saturday and my time in Munich is much too short! I am already planning on returning in June! PLEASE SPOIL SURVIVOR FOR ME!!!!

Juju, just spotted your pics! You and Spongebob are mighty close, huh? How lovely that Spongie got a horsie ride. The Juju2 sign is a definite highlight, and so is the figure of your cutie, Bigdog, underneath!
