solace

...no, no, no - i'm not talking about that bond movie. i didn't watch it either. since craig is to impersonate the "gentleman spy", i prefer to stop watching "james bonds" although i grew up with these movies. well, craig... he surely may be a good actor, but in my eyes he looks like a left-over KGB butcher who hasn't been "removed" as the cold war was over, if you understand what i mean. connery and moore perfectly resembled this "gentleman" type of agent, the idol i looked up to as a kid - bond was educated, refined, with good manners and the ability to move within every kind of society. even remington steele, ahm, pierce brosnan fit into this image. but craig...
well, let's leave it as it is. the solace i'm talking of is of another kind. in the meantime, it has become so bitterly cold and wet in germany that nobody, unless he's a hopeless case or a witless brute, would make his corvette leave the warmth and cosyness of its garage.
that fact that all the others keep their vettes indoors, too, really doesn't make me feel better, but at least it provides a little bit of solace. and the weather forecast for the next days isn't that good.
i said, "a little bit", folks.
no quantum.

p.s. which spy would drive a corvette? surely not bond. but maybe jerry cotten ;-)
