After Fairway

Pierre-Emmanuel will keep on swimming, biking and running – maybe surrounded by his family – to make up for time he did not spend practicing his favorite hobbies. And as he gets tired, he will sit down before his piano, smash the keys and sing aloud for the utmost pleasure of those in his vicinity (sic).
