I know DC is no Germany, but sometimes the things that are different (even something as small as commuting, public transportation, etc) wear on me and you miss the ease of home, but your words are a good reminder to soak up the little "surprises" everyday. Thanks! <br /><br />Congrats on the test, by the way! <br /><br />Amanda BAmanda Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027060458243156449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103753485363247086.post-41609658394872251592009-10-22T13:12:29.701-07:002009-10-22T13:12:29.701-07:00"Try to exclude the possibility of suffering ..."Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself." - CS Lewis <br />I wish you knew how much I love reading your written words.

Good for you. And may I add, though it's a mysterious imperative to me, "zoom-zoom." But be sure to take the Autobahn.<br /><br />John G.

Now you can leave behind the thrill of riding a bicycle in German traffic. After your tough day with the streetcar and having to comfort your daughter, I am impressed by your upbeat attitude; I'm not certain that I would be able to see the silver lining so quickly. <br />John G.
