efc,
No, I wasn't at the Royal Albert shows--should I have been?


This thread is staring to depress me now--he is gong to be at the Montreal Jazz Festival, where I could have easily and cheaply gone, and I have made a commitment to be in Hydra on the 25th of June...

That included all family affairs of any kind! Also it has nothing to do with any particular song, or new album, or the DVD, and is not about any award, nor a TV program! Also
no connection with the United Nations or similar organisations. Well, now the answer must be quite obvious. More comments on Sunday.
Best wishes from your cruel webmaster.
Then 'Womanfromaroom' must have it. In appreciation for his successful tour so far, there will be a contest and the winner will not only get to have dinner with LC but also two front row center seats for one of his upcoming concerts! The winner will have to have been in the same relationship for 40+ years so that LC can pick their brains as to why their relationship has lasted as long as it had and then he can apply it to his relationship with Anjani. Pick me :lol: Mr. Cohen!

The announcement is that Leonard thinks the Picture Game thread on this forum is cleverest thing he has ever seen and he wants to meet the regular players in person and hang out. He's so addicted to the game himself that he is quitting the tour to focus on it full time.

Jarkko, you are very cruel indeed. First, you told me early last year not to get my hopes up for a Western Canada tour. Now this! What is with you Finns? Is it the Northern climate? Not getting enough sun there?

Come on, Jarkko. Just a little hint. Please. Pretty please. It's only Thursday today. I don't think we can wait until Monday.

Just a wee hint . . .

Ciao for now,

Natalie :roll:

Another scoop for the Tanzania Chronicle Weekly Digest Magazine Sports Section.

They have already broken the news!!!

Yes, the sub-editor, Sports Section, informs me that Leonard is now retiring from professional basketball and also he is no longer available for the bob-sleigh team at London 2012.

I absolutely LOVE this thread! Thank you SO much Jarkko for keeping us on the edge of our chairs! I love each and every speculation, BUT, I do know one thing, and this negates several other guesses, including a couple of my own. Keep your credit card handy :D and BE THERE AT 10AM EASTERN TIME on Monday. er, Natalie, with the baby you will probably already be up but that's 7am Victoria time! :D :D

I know it will be awesome, whatever it may be!

Jarkko,
Could you at least let us know if this special announcement would REQUIRE us to be on our computers at the stated time to enjoy it? Or would you say if someone was to log onto the files at say 5PM NYC time Monday the announcement would still be as good as seeing it at 10AM? I ask because I (like many others) work on Monday morning and don't have easy access to a computer while at work. So I would have to burn a sick day if I need to be at my computer at 10AM and I don't want to do that unless it is really have to. Thanks!

Do NOT log on at 5pm Eastern time. Whatever you need to do, try to be there at the 10am established time! Call in sick, skip a class, miss your train, forget the conference, miss the interview, postpone the vacation. Okay, if you're having surgery or a baby, you're exempt. Otherwise, BE THERE.

ps...can't you slip into the internet at work? 8)
