She says it might be interesting for Spain/LA geeks on market development, especially ay tee/publishing.
Knock yourselves out.
Fluffy hug, Sam

from Sam to fluffy, furry and human friends!
Dear all,
it has been a while since I wrote to you guys, but B is bored out of her mind because she isn´t feeling well and her brain is really dull for a couple of days.
So I spend the day
-playing with fruits in the kitchen
-asking Emilia about humidity (is it sufficient or does she prefer a dryer environment?)
-The plant get the question the other way round (especially the english mint called menta and Laurelia require a lot of humidity!)
-Enrique wonders why B has so many blankets with her at the moment and greets Knut in Berlin!
-looking into the stars, we think of Dov-tov, T-Rex
-looking into a map we think of the horse without name and Conchita
-how is David the Gingko I have never met, Anina!
-due to my low chances of moving throughout the appartment, I need to ask B to take me anywhere which she gladly does!
The other day, B went to Copenhagen and got into a hassle: in the train to the station she realized she had left me and the foto camera sitting on the kitchen table! I spent the time with the kitchen devices and plants and when B came back she told me everything about it!
De lille havfrue - also known as the little mermaid, is sitting all year on a stone close to the sea, it must be great! And she says she has so many memories about the town, from lightyears ago and business trips throughout the last years. Life is colourful, at least most of it, apparently :)
A big hug to you all,
Sam

You guys,
Facebook is so much fun. Susi invited me to be her contacts, and ever since then (to be exact: yesterday) so many people from an old school requested contacted or I contacted them, I am really amazed! raubfisch, you HAVE to join, this is so much fun. I cannot tell names here, but it is hilarious and interesting to get in touch with so many people! What they look like now, what they do, do they look happy.
Hugggs to all of you,
B

need help for a pitch
You guys,
The following scenario: take a company, have a boy´s club reigning, try pitching promoting women in the company into mananegement positions that the boy´s club might perceive as sexy enough to pursue.
A friend and me have been thinking on how to demonstrate inmediate and long-term benefits, I am curious to know about your ideas, I will be happy to share what we have so far via e-mail :)

Almudena Grandes and Pio Baroja
Dear all,
train riding might have its perks. one of them is reading books. If I am lucky, my day starts with Emilia, after showering and tea, rushing out and continue with my book in the train. Since spanish makes me happy, I went through a pile of books from school and later buys in Spain so I can wrap my head around all of it. The reading started a couple of months ago, including Gabito, Mario Vargas Llosa, Pablo Neruda...
At the moment, I am reading two books, depending on the bag I have with me. So, Almudena Grandes because years ago I saw an interview with her and her vibrant personality made me be curious about her books. And the fact that I had missed the train and I had the wrong - empty - bag with me (there is a book shop in the station). There is a story about a tailor who makes the uniforms for toreros and another one about a musician. Vibrations about Madrid, ah! An air that changes when the tailor hands out that uniform, when the glorious moment and happiness converts the new owner into somebody who might fear what will happen once he wears it outside its cradle. But it is not written spooky, to me it feels like describing a fascinating kind of bravery and an attitude and having chosen a profession I cannot understand.
And Pio Baroja. That book has been gathering dust here for ages, I think my brother must have read it in school since I cannot recall the content myself. I opened the it and was intrigued, it speaks from my heart. Written by somebody who lived until the 60s.
Can´t decide which bag will be better for tomorrow´s train ride.
I will let you know.
Hugs and happiness,
B
