Sorry! :o I never quite understood German articles. When do you say der/das/die/dem/etc.? I can understand the meaning when I hear them, but I have no idea when what goes where.
Can't complain. I finally have some time off. I just got done with an exhausting 2-week run that included such fine shows as U2 and Apple's WWDC. I need a vacation. How's der Vaterland? You haven't gotten e. coli, have you?
