JeanB, wish your wife Nina, a happy retirement. I think she did it right. She let you be at home for the 3 years to have you trained to do everything around the house, including house cleaning and making dinners. Therefore, now that she is really retired, she has you trained to do it all, that she can enjoy the rest of her life relaxing while you do it all. LOL.
I didn't see it that way Anita .... woman are very smart that's for sure !!! lol

Hello dear friends,
Still nice summer weather in Belgium. We had a great time in France, beautiful weather and splendid landscapes and villages. I posted photos on my facebook page : "My summer vacation..."

Elaine, i'm glad to read that Todd's surgery went well. Hope he recover soon.
Gwenn, my wife had surgery on her right eye past week. She has a leakage in both her eyes. Her sight in the left eye is 1 on 10 and surgery doesn't help anymore. Her right eye is 7 on 10 and with the surgery they bring it back to 9 on 10. At least, that's the intention ! She has to go for control every thursday.
Sharon,I was very shocked about Lance Armstrong doping news. He was never caught but his American team mates testified against him. They were obliged to take the same product (EPO), in that time undetectable. USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) sealed his urine samples and examined them a few years later. They found EPO in all of them ! Conclusion ... he's guilty !
I also find it very regrettable, but he's a cheater and should be punished like every other doping sinner. Finally, he won big- big money with cheating. He's suspended for life by the United States Anti Doping Agency and not the UCI (International Cycling Union). So there's a chance he concerv his 7 Tour de France victories.
But i still have a great admiration for him as a athlete and for what he does for his cancer fundation.
I took Alan's new album with me on vacation. He was many time in my car's CD - player. I like all the songs !!! One of the best albums of the last years ...
Have a nice day everybody ...
Jean
