We had a nice treat today… I got a package from my friend Martin in Prague. He sent me a very nice thank you gift for a talk I gave their (virtually) a few months back. And there was this really cool mug it was actually like chalkboard… Some slivowitz (My favorite plum brandy)… And some Horicke Trubicky . They are these really strange and really delicious tubular cookies that you can only get in the Czech Republic as far as I know.… My friends Miro and Piotr. Sometimes brought them to Munich for us.… You can fill them with stuff or just eat them or use them like a cigar I guess… Anyway it was a very thoughtful gift and brightened up our Tuesday. Thank you Martin! !

Nite all, nite sam !
