Yes, Julie Andrew all over again... The movie "The Sound of Music" is
known outside the US, you know. In fact, I can say I almost have the
whole movie memorized. It's even worse...
During one of our many vacations to Austria we visited Salzburg
(again). We were with the family of a colleage of my father (who has
three dauthers). When making the well-known tour through Salzburg in
one of the small horse-pulled coaches we even managed to sing
Do-Re-Mi out loud together. It must have been such a pathetical sight
(and sound too!).... <wide grin>
Alright, but to Klingon now... (I would have written the above in
Klingon if 1) my tlhIngan Hol weren't so rusty, 2) I had the time..
