    My good people at Eslpod ,
    I admit that sometimes it happen that I m out of line here in blog. And I really appriciate tou guys for being such a good sport about it.
    Well, sometimes I get carried away.
    I m a bit gushy perhaps :))

    Perhaps, I say things from time to time that I shouldn’t say,all the funny stuff I mean.
    You know,I mean well
    My heart always goes towards Eslpod.
    Well ,every weekened when the next week time table comes out i feel happy inside simply because it is a leading indication that we gonna have Our good friemds down at the eslpod center with us for another week or so. What is better is that there are gonna be some posts during the week with our names on it :)))(I mean ,posts that invite us to write comments about it)
    I guess ,we all speak with one voice that dropping lines on blog every week has become a major hubby of us.
    At least ,I m pretty sure that it is the case for me and Emiliano.
    Emiliano , bro , back me up on that.
    Sorry ,guys If I sometimes cross the line here or there.

    Cheers

    Peter
