Can Frida understand you as your vocabulary is so full of unusual words that it may take

A linguist or a logophile to catch your drift ?

Don’t let Frida read yet Notes From The Underground as can be a downer. Voltaire was good at logic:”Doubt is not an agreeable condition but certainty is an absurd one.”

Being in Argentina must be great as everything except nature is a paradox?

Does Owly give Frida bird vocabulary?

Haha, Frida has a vocabulary in three languages (four if you count music) that will soon have her father reaching for his old Webster’s. Cheers!

Love the way you communicate. Reminds me of Tom Robbins..the part about needing Websters.

I have three handsome, kind boys. Do you want to trade two for one? No? How about three for one.

Tell the budding Miss Everything to just concentrate on her violin. Music is the only universal language.

And don’t tell me she plays the piano and several other instruments. And don’t tell me she plays soccer, tennis , and several other sports!

She needs a brother. You can borrow my youngest boy. He also is almost perfect! I bet Frida needs a dog to love and play with. I also have the perfect dog- a Siberian Husky with deep blue eyes Loki is his name which means mischievous but loving. Everyone who sees him comments that he is the most beautiful dog he/she has ever seen. True!

How about two boys and one Blue eyed Husky for Frida?

Your Words and Thoughts are Ace....

Your Footsteps (Bootsteps??) sound like something out of an an Old American Western Movie...or maybe a Dirty Harry clip.

Keep Up the Amazing Work

Beautiful video, what a sky! Your adopted country’s political experiment is brand new and the prior government set the bar quite low. I wish you and Argentina well. Let me know in a year how it’s going. (I know you will!)

Half the ministries eliminated! Amazing. That's a lot of people now unemployed

Hard to believe they won't make a ruckus. Or that the battered private sector needs once-bureaucrats now job-seekers. This transition -- however it ends -- will be the focus of innumerable Phd thesis's for a long time. I hope it succeeds by turning once paper-pushing wealth-takers into successful wealth-makers

Yes sir…these front row seats are worth the price of admission. Word is, government welcomes protests…but not if they block the streets or hinder the general public from going about their business. If caught obstructing regular folks, welfare payments will be cut…
