I lived in Goettingen, Germany, from 1979 till 1982. I attended the Georg-August-University there, too. It is a city with a lot of tradition, and a very beautiful “Altstadt”.

In 2005 I had the opportunity to conduct a workshop for a media agency in Istanbul, Turkey. I had never been to Turkey before, so I jumped at the chance to investigate at least a small part of the historical city before and after the workshop.

Don’t ask me why, but I always wanted kids.
In some ways I may have been the prototype for a “modern” woman who considers her career an imperative, and I certainly can’t begin to imagine giving up my (ok: more or less) intellectual and professional pursuits to spend 100 % of my time folding laundry, baking cookies or planning yet another perfect 4-course meal.

One of the amazing things about the internet is that it allows you to locate so many of the people you’ve lost touch with over the years. Whether you simple do a search with your favorite search engine, or log onto a site like www.reunion.com or www.classmates.com, I’m always surprised just how many people I’ve been able to locate. Ok, it’s more difficult with women if they’ve gotten married, but still…

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt.
ChessMan actually wasn’t hurt in the accident at all. He ended up banging himself up pretty badly, though, by falling from the tow truck. He lost his footing when climbing up to retrieve his briefcase…..

Anyone who knows anything about Germany – and has a quick look at their calendar – knows that we are now in the midst of the so-called “5th Season”: KARNEVAL!!!!
While in Germany, I have lived in both Mainz and Dusseldorf, which – along with Cologne – are the three major hot spots in Germany when it comes to the celebrations, and for days now the TV stations have been full of live televised coverage of parades and sessions held by the big carneval clubs.
