Lost in transition?

Today, Friday March 20th 2009 at 12.43 CET we can say farewell to winter and “Welcome spring”. Unfortunately this is only theoretical as temperatures dropped the past few days and we had fresh snow in the mountain regions and even within the city limits of Vienna yesterday throughout the day. It was funny and strange as sunshine and snowfall alternated several times and at the end of the day the snow has vanished again. We do hope very much that this was the last sign and we can unwrap our very own spring-ambassadors on our terraces – tulips we seeded in autumn and have slowly grown underneath protective fleece ever since. It is about time to dig out The Manhattans’1976 record “Kiss and say Goodbye, dedicate it to Jack Frost and let the spring feelings spread!

With the
NCAA basketball tournament underway Markus has plenty of games to watch on the weekend, which he has to squeeze in between more furniture shopping, meeting Mary, Mirko and Valentin for the first time since them returning from their belated honeymoon in Thailand and Markus leaving for yet another business trip with a client to Warsaw with many company visits. Luckily for both him and also Kerstin the NCAA provides online on-demand videos of all tournament games, so he can stay in touch even while on the road.
