What is your favorite drink?
Having a favorite drink for all occasions is an inane notion to say the least.

I believe the universal answer would have to be water. We pretty much need water to consume all drinks.

But if we dress it up, and add flavoring, caffeine, or a little bit of alcohol, we have a different drink for different occasions.

So for those reasons, I will say, on a hot summer day drinking water out of the garden hose is the most delicious thing you can drink.
Who are your favorite people to be around?
The natural response is family. It is not a given for many people and I don’t take if for granted.
There are times I just want to be alone. We all need that. And I know I talked to the dogs and cats and to myself. But I’m comfortable being by myself. Being a grandparent is the coolest thing in the world.
By the end of the day, we are tired and feeling good. So there’s nothing wrong with a little time alone.
I sit here alone on a Friday morning, it’s a beautiful day in Berlin. It is so quiet and peaceful and I’d rather enjoy these moments.
Last Night
Last night, I went out with my son to meet some of his friends for a birthday party. It was myself and nine other people, half my age.
It was fun just to watch them interact with each other. I remember when that social scene was what I lived for. There were so many language spoken at the table, including Spanish German and Portuguese, and its mattering of English.
That’s not my perfect evening, but I certainly enjoyed it despite the fact that at:
10;00
All nine people at the table broke out their cigarettes (not me) because apparently you can’t smoke in a bar till 10 o’clock in Berlin.
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
They Wait
My favorite pair of shoes are sitting right outside my door. Actually, I’ll put them on and go for a run roaming the streets of Berlin.
For today, they will be my favorite pair of shoes.
In All Honesty
I haven’t found a pair, running shoes I love in years. But then again, I don’t have the perfect pair of running legs anymore that are atop the running knees that connect to the running feet to connect to the running shoes.
So I will embrace today’s pair of shoes.
And today’s run.
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.
It may sound cliché, but the gift of children is the best gift we can receive. The time we spend with them is precious, and the memories will last forever..
I write this as I’m about to head from Mainz to Berlin. It will be the last time. I see my granddaughter for a little while. I’ll miss her tremendously.
