Central Station
CPA
The event in Frankfurt – reading, interview but no Q & A – took place in the waiting room of the Central Station in Frankfurt am Main.
Every first Sunday of the month at 11 AM a literary event is being organized in this particular and fairly spacious waiting room. The Deutsche Bahn, the German Railway, is not an active sponsor of this event, it’s merely tolerating it. As the interviewer said to me: “What more can you expect from a conglomerate as the German Railway?”
The event, reading, signing, and interview, seemed to be pleasant for the travelers waiting in the waiting room and for all those who came to listen to the reading.
A fair amount of regulars show up here every first Sunday of the month.
I’m pleased to give the event an 8.5.
Tonight I had dinner in Düsseldorf with my CPA. We spoke about the future. My CPA urged me to remain hopeful and positive.

Sometimes I enjoy the tragic look of people desperately trying to be hopeful and positive and I do not know why.

Aren't you one of those?
@ Arnon
In what way you need to be hopefull and positive Arnon? Seeing how you move towards life, it strikes me that deep down you must be a hopefull and positive person all together. From where this extra focus on this?
I like the setting of the event. Different , but nice.

Arnon, just a quick question. I see you are in Napels on May 6th, so am I. I am planning to come to your reading, would you have a correct address for me? I would love to meet you in person, knowing you are terribly busy , I still dare to ask if you would have time for maybe a quick personal meeting. I could buy you some diner? :-)
I understand if you don't have the time, but as a reader and writer, it would mean a lot to me. If not, I still come to the reading ;-).
Cheers

Thanks, I did not know I had it in me.
You know, for a while I thought that the person with the spectacles on the left of the bigger picture was me.
Forgive my ignorance. What does CPA stands for? I don't think you mean Canadian Police Association.
Isn't life meaningless without hope and positive thinking? I couldn't live without.
Although it's hard sometimes.

Peccato! I will visit Rome the last week of april; one week to early for the conference at the Dutch Institute. I hope there will be some pictures of this event.
The 14th of May I'm in Rome again. I truly love this city and I really look forward to eat pasta, enjoy the sun and an ice-cream on Piazza Navona.

Do you know ice cream shop Giolitti in the neighbourhood of Piazza Navona?

Doesn't ring a bell right away, but I will wright the name down. My stay in Rome can only be better. I'm open for tips and ideas.
Joanne
