Longivity
Right around this corner, underneath the arches, across the cobblestone square is the place, where now you’ll be in the Virtual Cafe WIM. Plunging right into the haze and crowd. The new idea I have must get out. Rushed by anticipation. Can’t wait to put this up for discussion: a much longer life. Before I […]
After You
Heavy billows of Mother Nature’s Spring aromas sit on the e-lines that keep Virtual Cafe WIM in place. Flower bunches everywhere were part of the real Sussex Drive happening until the last embrace, last kiss. Then questions about a book that was written as if describing a film studio set. Who is the woman coming […]
The Butler
When I look around, I’d say Virtual Cafe WIM is in session. I also see that you look with antici-pation what usuable advice might come from my very rich Mamma whose richesse was down after all the idiosy of the 1940-1945 WW but not the wealth of most helpful experiences. Oke, Wim, still cold outside. […]
Every day rich
Virtual Cafe WIM open when you feel like dash this mad world I like that old cafe wimsical sphere; meet up with friends, maybe catch Wim for a touch of original wimsicalness. Well, we are all here Wim. Come out of the kitchen for a minute. We just overhear you reading outloud your handwritten poster. […]
Good manners for you
How are you dear Guests in virtual Cafe WIM? How are you living as you do in Le Canada? Winters here don’t have a great ending, Wim. Coming from Holland, you noticed that too over the years that you are here. I get the kids in their rain boots and by the time they do […]
Bar paddles wheels
Most delightful Virtual Cafe WIM Guests. Nice to see you just before the March-Break. I saw two come-in on a bicycle in snug fitting suits and all you guys in heavy woollies and overheard the woollies ask the suits, “are you not freezing?’ The suits said, “Just like out on the Canal, mate.” Yeah, right […]
Iris
Nice to see your in my friends meeting place in the center of Ottawa, hard to reach at times but the PULL was strong. We just HAD TO go, meet, be in that sphere with 14 ft high ceilings. Now obviously we have VIRTUAL Cafe WIM. From the response (60.000. so far), it’s useful. 1951, we got […]
Government
Weatherwise, everything went well for life in politics this election year Fall. Leafs fell first and on a day of clear vision our neighbours walked into a booth to decide on what government they will be governed. For us snow, cold and trumpet sounds. We should have build a wall, Wim. You are a Dutchman, but we Canadians are […]
Dutchman In Love
Imagine sitting in class with a clear view of the Dom tower in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The teacher English said, “c’mon gentlemen, you don’t know what work is” when he discovered that few had done their homework. The same line could be heard from teachers German, French, Dutch, Latin, Greek. Sleepy, uninspired twelve year olds. […]
Logic
If..then Virtual Cafe WIM is up and running again after a long holiday, Feels good to be with you all. How were you in the midst of Summer? Wim, there were times that humidity made us feel like sitting in 40 Celsius, snapping for air. In Holland: overcoats, like a March break, about 16 C. […]
