serenity

i’m sitting in front of the tv in a state of complete serenity, watching dave on the german telly.
well, that i feel that way is not only due to the fact that the presentation of my project today went extremely well, but also to the glass of 16-years-old dark bronze lagavulin with its distinctive taste of burnt rubber, heather and peat.

and as the movie goes on, i feel that we do have a lot in common, dave kovic and me – we both are not the bold ones, we’re more the shy types, gentle, polite and terribly old-fashioned, always a little bit anxious, feeling like we’re pretending although we meet or even exceed the expectations of those around us.
makes me think about it, but i can’t help it – i’m just the way i am. an old dog doesn’t change its spots.
or maybe i just should get rid of the lagavulin…
