A suitcase a year
getting things wrong
On my way from Pristina to Brussels my suitcase broke down. Always an embarrassing moment to lift a broken suitcase from the baggage carousel. Exactly a year ago I bought this red suitcase (Samsonite) in New York. Collectors can make a bid. The suitcase traveled to Australia, Europe and Africa.
On the plane I read in Tim Judah's excellent book on Kosovo, Kosovo, War and Revenge: “Getting things wrong is different from lying.”
Yes, but lying is a little bit more sophisticated and entertaining than getting things wrong.

Yes. As our teacher once proposed, who is the better musician, the one who plays bad on purpose or the one who could not play at all.

Meneer Grunberg,
Zou mijn zuster misschien uw koffer mogen, want zij reist zoveel.
