Maybe counseling would help us through this difficult time? I’ve heard that it works for some couples. _sniff_ _sob_ Please don’t leave me! I promise it will never happen again. It’s just that the excitement was gone from our relationship, and I thought that I could find the spark we once had with another country. _sniff_ Anyway, you knew… how could you have not know? _sob_ You drove me into Italy’s arms, it’s just as much your fault as mine you know… ---

Oh thats right. blame me. you always do this! everything is MY fault! its all about YOU now isn’t it? In fact it always has been - I just never realised it before. I wasted three years of my life with you - and look at me now. When i met you i was young, full of life, the whole of the east was open to me. Now? Look at me. LOOK AT ME DAMMIT! Look what i’ve become! Look what you turned me into - Soon i’ll lose a home SC and there’s nothing i can do about it. I’m not even a “has been” - I’m an “almost was”. Just take it all. take everything. I just can’t do this anymore. ---

Y’all, At 6:00 PM Eastern Time tomorrow, I will be in the air to Europe. I’ll stop in with some internet cafes, hopefully, but my dipping will probably be scaled back somewhat. So, if I’m not as receptive as I currently am, I apologize. I hope that this won’t interfere with the game too much. -Il Supe ---

Please, please, please drink lots of good Belgian ale on my behalf. In fact, if it’s a pleasure trip and you like beer at all, then I highly recommend taking a trip to an Abbaye to just kick back and drink incredibly fresh and delicious beer, usually accompanied with bread, sausages and cheese made at the Abbaye. And you should drop **Coldfire** a note and see if you can say hello if you are in Amsterdam. BTW, you realize that Holland and Belgium are under occupation by the English and French, respectively, right? So be careful, it’s a war zone. ---

We’ll be having no visiting Italians in Belguim under MY rule. Hey all - sorry I’ve been so out of touch lately, I’ve been having some issues with work. (as in, boss saying I should do more of it.) Buckets o’ Cheese will be on their way to all of you as an apology. [sub]Just ignore the fact that the delivery brigade is well-armed, OK? It’s a hazardous job, I like to make sure they can protect themselves…[/sub] ---
