• Having it All Small Pen Is Mighty

    What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

    Billionaires

    The bastards think they have it all and they don’t as they lack empathy or rarely anyone who really likes them for who they are.

    Mortal Mere Mortals

    The mere mortals don’t care if they have it all and they don’t are empathetic to the idea that we have it all.

    Take me for a walk once a day, a pet between the ears and being able to sleep on the sofa

    My Twenty Three Year Old Self

    All the bills are paid, I have money left over for an occasional happy hour and there’s a remote possibility. I’m going to get late tonight.

    Bis Bald

    Who would you like to talk to soon?

    Mit wem möchtest du bald sprechen?

    It was nice to have our first visitor to our new home in Everett Washington. My good friend Jeff stopped by as the movers were here. It is worth noting Jeff was the first person I met when we moved to Oregon twenty eight years ago.

    I also need to speak some German. My skill level is increasing but I need to have some real conversations in German.


    Es war schön, unseren ersten Besucher in unserem neuen Zuhause in Everett, Washington, zu begrüßen. Mein guter Freund Jeff kam vorbei, gerade als die Umzugshelfer da waren. Erwähnenswert ist, dass Jeff der erste Mensch war, den ich kennengelernt habe, als wir vor achtundzwanzig Jahren nach Oregon gezogen sind.

    Ich muss auch etwas Deutsch sprechen. Meine Sprachkenntnisse verbessern sich zwar, aber ich muss echte Gespräche auf Deutsch führen.

  • If The Shoe Fits

    If The Shoe Fits

    What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

    Having moved everything I owned across Washington state I can’t say I have personal possessions that come to mind.

    But for now, I can’t find my running shoes so that would be the item I cannot live without.

    This prompt reminds me of the scene in the movie, The Jerk where Steve Martins character needs nothing other than his ping pong table or this chair.

  • Je ne sais quoi

    Je ne sais quoi

    Do you have any collections?

    I must admit I love collecting music on vinyl. I know we can get what ever we want on music services.

    Vinyl has a certain Je ne sais quoi.

    We are in the middle of moving and I took special care the records were in a cool storage place out of the sun.

    I had a huge vinyl collection up until grad school. Somebody broke into my place and stole most of them.

    But I am there again collecting vinyl and enjoying it.
