"I Love Rock n Roll!"

You have all waited for this moment for about a week. So here it is. Drumroll please....

So I know it's a bit blurry but hey, I don't need a very clear pic of me with a mullet. Wait there's one more....

Ok, so now you are all gasping for air and clutching your chests. I know, I went through it too. But rest assured, Sarah wacked that mullet right off. I now have short hair that is Carol and Joan free.

What do you think of the glasses? I totally dig them. We haven't taken photos since the demulletizing but will post them as we take them. Living in Europe is a riot!

Jazz, please and thank you
Last night we went to the Jazz Cafe to see a trio from NYC; although, two of them were Austrian-go figure. They played funk/groove and they were smokin'! The bass player and the drummer were amazing to watch. The bass player is from NY and he's very nice, good looking too. Sarah, Marianne and I had a great time.

Angels and Devils and a man called St. Nick
In the Czech Republic children celebrate St. Nicholas' Day on Dec 5th. Children must sing a song or recite a poem and St. Nick will give you something sweet to eat. But he has two cohorts, an angel and a devil. If you've been good all year, the angel will give you a blessing. If not, the devil will give you coal, potatoes and onion. I guess if you were really bad, you could make a soup when you get home.

The teachers had a party today in honor of the jolly old saint. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. Two of my coworkers dressed up, one as an angel and one as a devil. We all had to put our hand in the devil's sack and take out a bag. There were bags of coal in many sizes. The larger the coal, the worse you were. I got the the largest piece of coal if that tells you anything. It was funny seeing my fellow teachers reciting poetry and singing children's songs for treats. I sang "Away in a manger".

That's all for now. Please stop laughing at my hair.
