Classics, Italianized

Springtime... for Zurich... and Switzerland

Sheep. Rainbows.

Enjoying Sundays at the beergarten with a view of the mountains & lake.

New York this is not.

I Is Literate

I'm forgetting English. 

Is it "take something with a grain of salt" or a pinch?

Malpropisms were never a problem....  although for years I thought it was "up & Adam" (up & at 'em).    And "it's a doggy dog world".   

At least I still speak jive. 

Mister CH

Was just googling "Mr. Schweiz" to see what this competition is all about.

This website appeared.

Um... Woah.

Really - click on the link. Then note the photo slide show.

Gratuitous shirtlessness seems to be a required element.

I'm thinking of changing my blog name. My Swiss life is not so new anymore.

I am thinking of going with the new name "Sexual Chocolate"

Although this title could be misleading.

If you do not get this reference, you really must watch more Eddie Murphy movies.

This Is So Swiss

None of us are too surprised that the Swiss have a festival to celebrate the opening of a tunnel... aka, "West Fest" I admit to being a bit intrigued by the "Ethno Country Rock Show" though.

Swiss Celebrity Sightings

So, let's be honest. There are only about 3 famous Swiss people. These 3 being -

1) Roger Federer

2) Martina Hingis

3) um...

There are some people who, within Switzerland, are considered "famous" though.

The latest James Bond flick's director was Swiss. It was a big deal when he was chosen to direct (big deal aka, in Switzerland).

The Mr. & Ms. Switzerland winners are "famous."

... A friend of mine saw Martina Hingis yesterday.

I also saw Roger Federer a few years ago standing in front of a hotel, waiting for his car to be brought around.

That leaves... uh... http://www.about.ch/various/famous-swiss.html.
