Tonight was one of those manic nights induced by the catering smorgasbord. It is easy to get bored on the road and food becomes the entertainment. Everyone is grumbling about all the bread and cheese, but tonight it was all about the sugar for me and I was bouncing off the walls. If only there had been a video camera to capture my comic monologue which erupted at the dinner table, but alas, the cameras are never there when something funny or interesting is happening.
Now I am listening to Sarah Vaughan, Shirley Bassey, Cat Power and all my favorite singers as I type away on my laptop, dreaming of Monday when we get to go HOME! We are in Neuchatel, Switzerland, and tomorrow we head for London. The tour has been a great success, and everyone is in good spirits, though exhausted. We don’t have our bus anymore, so the challenge is: how do I consolidate all of my bags and things back into an acceptable FAA approved package?
Only two more shows, and I don’t know if I will have a chance to write again before we leave. So a big thanks to Ralf, our bus driver, for shepherding us safely and smoothly around Europe. And thank you to Pete Plympton, Gilles Gagnepain, Christophe Comte, and Charlie Bradshaw, the fantastic production team! Green tea, skim milk and flowers in every dressing room. Reverb in my monitor at all the right moments. Keys to lock up my valuables. Big brothers I never had...
This is devolving into a high school yearbook page, but I just want to say that you guys are the best.
And, of course, Thomas makes everything possible...and he is so cute!

Kazu da zena mora da ispuni ona tri kosmicka uslova da bi bila:
1. zena
2. pozeljna zena (jer ako si vec zena moras biti pozeljna, inace ne postojis, bar kao zena)

Teorija jedne moje prijateljice, koju oznacavamo ovom prilikom kao Dr N. je otprilike sledeca:
`Zena ce omanuti`..u jednoj od tri navedene stavke. ALI UVEK.
Drugim recima, ako vam je u kuhinji odlicna i u krevetu jos bolja, dragi moji nece moci da bude I uspesna u karijeri. Nece imati ni vremena, ni inspiracije, a takodje ni snage…
Ako je dobra u kuhinji I na poslu, pasce umorna u krevet I to mu dodje to, znaci nema nista od provoda ni veceras, ni sutra…
Ako je dobra u krevetu I na poslu, verujte, ta ne zna nista da skuva, niti je zanima. Take away rules, my dear :) once again!
Zato, uzivajte u svojim pozeljnim dobitnim kombinacijama, jer su za vas dobitne kakve one jesu…I ne fali nista sto vam zena nije kosmicki savrsena, jer bi bila savrsena ljubavnica, umirisana na zaprsku I u mislima, dok se blizi orgazmu, negde blizu poslednjeg rebalansa budzeta.

`Ubi me prejaka rec`...reče jednom
Branko Miljkovic, modernista, pesnik pod uticajem francuskih simbolista i filozofije Heraklita...
Dusko Radovic, veliki srpski pisac, humorista i aforisticar, je takodje rodjeni Nišlija, ali je na najlepsi nacin doziveo beogradska jutra...
Pre njih, Sremac, kao posmatrac zivotnih trivijalosti, pisac dela koja odisu niškim orijentom, inspirisan našom čaršijom lagano okrenutoj ka Evropi, boem, profesor gimnazije, savremenik svojih knjizevnih (realnih) likova.

Que Sera Sera, Doris Day
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, SeraWhat will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be richI tell them tenderly
Que Sera, Sera,Whatever will be,
will beThe future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, SeraWhat will be, will be.
