April is the month that makes us know that time is not our own.

I don't know where April went. First it was suddenly upon us. Then it was suddently easter vacation and my birthday, and now May is here next week. What happened?

Eva (who turns 26 in 5 weeks) said, "I've got to slow my life down. It's going too quickly." And I said, "Yes."

We came to no conclusions on how to succeed in slowing down our lives. We're not going to walk more slowly or sleep less, or create a watch that converts the day into more hours. Is it about being more aware or appreciating the act of being alive?

I don't know. She doesn't know. Frankly we have no clue. We might not even talk about it again until this time next year, or even the next. I think she said something about it, we both freaked out for about five minutes, and then we moved on to chatting about the cheap green tea I like to drink, ice-cream bars, or whether or not the nacht winkle would be open at such an hour. It wasn't. At least it wasn't yesterday at that time. You'd think a nacht winkle would be open in the nacht.

You never can tell with these Belgians.

Oh, one last thing. Here's a song |Dan Burn - God Said No| that I found. I'm not going to tell you what it's about. Just option/right-click it and save it, listen to it, burn it, and then consider buying a Dan Burn cd.
