Prague Castle
I brought my camera to work with me today but the batteries are out. I found this photograph on the internet and it is more or less the picture I would take from my window (with a zoom lens).

The Enlightenment made explicit what had long been implicit in the intellectual life of Europe: the belief that rational inquiry leads to objective truth. Even those Enlightenment thinkers who distrusted reason…never relinquished their confidence in rational argument…For the ensuing 200 years, reason retained its position as the arbiter of truth and the foundation of objective knowledge…But reason is now on the retreat, both as an ideal and as a reality. - Roger Scruton, 1999

Charlie Parlay, of course we care. When are you coming over to see it?
Absolutely. Any friend of DD's sinister brother's friend's baboon's uncle's sister-in-law's parrot is a friend of ours. So you'll have a place to stay. The beer is in the refrigerator.
Charlie are you off your meds? Stay away before they pollute you. Money for a hotel is a small price to pay for your sanity.
MM,
I saw Shawn Alexander had a huge day. I'm not sure what your guys scoring system is but hopefully you will pull this week out.
SS - "pollute"? Piss off.
Charlie Parlay, don't listen to SS; Monkey and I are harmless.
SS, I don't know how our scoring system works either but Shawn Alexander did earn me quite a few points. I'll know tomorrow whether or not I've held on to win this week. I'll either e-mail you or broadcast it here.
SS, I lost again and I am now in last place in my fantasy football league. I have never been in last place before. Are you sure you are really helping me? I am losing to a bunch of boys - it's so embarassing.
Charlie Parlay, the cocktails in Prague are excellent.
Riggs, maybe you should blog about your drunken shopping cart incidents.
Charlie Parlay, European shopping carts are smaller - not sure we could get you into one.
MM,
If you weren't an anti-Bengalite, you would've picked my boy, Carson Palmer, and you'd be in first place. I have a co-worker whom I convinced to take Palmer and he's in first place in both his fantasy leagues. Boo-yeah!!
DD, totally not fair. We had an automatic draft so I did not even get to choose my team. I did pre-rank players, carefully following your brother's instructions.
I just checked my league and the team with Palmer is in 6th place. I guess my league is a bit tougher.
ahhhh I must say I have never had such beautiful views anywhere but during my time working in Praha. I remember seeing the lunar or solar eclipse from my office window one year (1998 or 99 I think.
Now I have to subject myself to airconditioned carpetted separaters I am prone to knock over in an airconditioned skyrise. yuk!
Actually I had an office view of a sacred cemetary where monks where barried behind the NOtre Dame Cathedral in Montreal. I was prohibited to look out at it, even when I did stand on my desk to take a peak there really wasn't anything to see.
Chatsy, I think you are speaking too much quebecois because your English seems to have really deteriorated. It's worrying.
Et voila ma chere en anglais, ne t'inquiete toi pas (no need to worry dahling):
I will never forget the view from my first office in prague. I was able to watch a solar or lunar (not sure which one) eclipse which could only be seen in europe at the time (1998-1999). Now it's rare to get a view at all from a Canadian Office.
I remember walking down most streets in the city centre being able to see the beautiful castle on a picturesque hill.
Unfortunately, most offices in North America entail a carpetted separator knows as the cubicle in an airconditionned open large size room.
My office at the theatre had a view of a sacred cemetary where monk's were burried, behind the Notre Dame Catherdral in Old Montreal. I would have to stand on my desk to see over the brick wall into the cemetary and even then we really weren't allowed to look into it.
Prague has the best view from any point in the city. Yup, I am pretty sure about that.
