Elizabeth II

Obama

This evening my mother (on the phone from Amsterdam, The Netherlands) confirmed her love for Obama. But in the same sentence she mentioned that she loves Elizabeth II, the queen of England.
Now this was new for me.
And I’m not sure what Elizabeth II and Barack Obama have in common.
But I don’t doubt the sincerity of my mother’s love for these two people.

Something definitely got hold of Obama, do we witness the raise of a phenomena? Fascinating to see how a man can change along the road of success
Happy birthday, Arnon.

And tell your mother that my mother loves you. If there would ever be a fight between you and me, she will certainly choose your side. No problem about that.

Enjoy your manicure and pedicure.

Happy Birthday Arnon!
My mother and you share the same birthday. I wonder what Freud would say about that.

Congratulations and blessings! Sometimes mothers do have a point, but maybe than we look like our mothers! And isn't that what we don't want?

Probably your mother likes fairy tails.

Freud is not so much into coincidences like this one. Recently a friend explained to me the importance of coincidence in Sebald’s work. Maybe you should check him out.

@Arnon
Thanks, I did; now I have to calm down the poor woman. (The curse of fame, not your fault.)
