"The Good Old Days" or "Le Bon Vieux Temps"

The goal of Rom, Alex, Anto and Jo was to know Katmandou. They wore long hair with lots of colorful ribbons and flowers. “Peace and Love” and “Flower Power” was their mantra and music was their passion. They bought an oldcamper from a junk yard and painted it with large, colorful flowers. They were seeking spiritual happiness far from materialistic and superficial society. They hit the road following their karma direction Nepal. Two days after leaving, the engine broke, they discovered they had no more money and their supplies were gone. They finally had to hitchhike home. The years went by, they got jobs, had kids, loans, worries and that time of carefree and total liberty, that neither the bald heads of some nor the sprouts of grey hair of others could have forgotten, was far behind them. In memory of their old spiritual quest, they decided to spend summer vacation redoing that famous canceled trip. But this time with the kids, they were a total of nine. They booked a package tour with a flight to Bali, which wasn’t quite Katmandou, but still had the advantage of a great Club Med.

2009 Release "Quad" or "4-wheeler"

Sunday the sun rose under a clear sky, when the previous Saturday night had a downpour. Fabian watched the trees as they bent in the wind. The woods were full of puddles; the roads were flooded, filled with rocks and fallen branches. A thick, wet coat of mud covered the landscape. The path which led to the mountain had become a real quagmire with a soup of rocks and marsh. A total nightmare, but in reality a great day for a little ride on the quad. Fabian started the engine and listened to the delicious purring. He gave a few pumps of the accelerator; the engine roared and two long flames leaped from the tail pipes….he felt invincible. At the end of the day, after four hours of adventure, he went home happy. Covered with mud from head to toe, he looked like chocolate cake. He proudly went into the house and walked across the living room carpet. His wife turned to welcome him home, but upon seeing him, was overcome by an attack of muscle spasms and tremors and fell flat on the floor.
