Yeah, tell me about it. But at least there's great lemon curd and beer. And hopefully I'll get filthy stinking rich and return to Holland in a year or two to find a female to make babies and build a future with. But for now I have the biggest calling in my life. (man I hope this works out)

Was it you who posted something recently about that? Or was it something I read in the news?
