Happy New Year Leonardo,

Well now there is a great resume for a quantum mechanic! I especially 
like the Andy Warhol part. I think I threw out my extensive 
collection of "Interview" in a fit of messianic housecleaning and I 
am so sorry. I keep looking for it under the stairs as if it will 
somehow materialize. Life is a magical mystery tour for sure, whether 
we look at it right side up or upside down, and btw I am pretty sure 
I can fly...

Happy New Year,
Adelasie
