I am referring to the Mykonos comment and the ongoing summer games you have there. <br /><br />But out of respect for lawyers I must add that our victory was not in least due to our legal team's performance. Stupid me not to have mentioned them. They have not been very much in the public eye, I think they were British and were not here much. We probably would not have understood them anyway - listening to difficult legal stuff with regulation numbers is not our forte here in Iceland.

Speaking of grasping, so glad to hear that Iceland repelled the lawyers. And in the style that they did. We from the land of "too big to fail" can only marvel at your countrymen's resourcefulness. And while on the subject of marveling, what a terrific video by your friend on the Outgames. If you send me posters asking prospective participants to support Rekjavik's bid, I'll gladly put them up on Mykonos in spots where those sorts of games run all summer, every summer. <br /><br />Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
