I had to wait a couple of weeks - but it was very worthwhile: My new bike has arrived!
The brand new Kawasaki Z1000. I have chosen the maroon brown with snake skin buddy - hence the name of my bike "SNAKE". And make that a viper or other ultra agile and fast snake - because that's what this bike is all about - wow :-)

The day I rediscovered... Nana Mouskouri!

I stumble upon this all-star session--including producer Quincy Jones, conductor Torrie Zito, and sound engineer Phil Ramone--Nana Mouskouri's 1962 US debut album: Nana in New York.
In phrasing and intonation, Mouskouri shows the influence of her jazz models Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, yet her Greek accent, as well as her classical and opera vocal training, make for an utterly distinctive approach. It is really a gem!
(according to amazon Nana is "is the biggest-selling female artist of all time (...)" Never would suspect that would you?)

Same-Sex Marriage Becomes Legal in Washington

The day that even in the capital of the USA it is legal for gay's to marry we can hail this day as a milestone for equal rights and a symbolic victory.as same-sex marriage became legal in the nation’s capital.
Washington is now the sixth place in the nation where same-sex marriages can take
place. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont also issue
marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Court officials explained that the Marriage Bureau changed its license applications in
preparation for the new licenses. They now ask for the name of each “spouse” rather than
the “bride” and “groom.” Officials who perform the weddings read: “I now pronounce
you legally married” instead of “I now pronounce you man and wife.”

So let's hope that Capitol hill takes notice.

This new Israeli movie "Eyes Wide Open" is about a gay romantic affair in the ultra orthodox jewish community. I wonder when I will be able to see it in Amsterdam.
