i’ve been in berlin now for about a week and half. as usual i’m way behind in my posts but i figure when the time is right for me to write i’ll be doing it religously. writing is an addiction … and a cure for the soul.
since 1 oktober i’ve done, sadly, not much sightseeing in berlin. BUT i have spent some extraordinarily pleasant times with good people – a lot of it has been meeting in person folks i’ve known virtually – and some friends have been in town so it’s been nice to share meals and stories in a new city together.
i’m not a good picture-taker, so instead, i’ve decided to capture daily quotes from berlin – bc they are easy to capture

“change is nature…the part that we decide.
where you going?
with luck, forward” ~ main character in conversation with his dad, Ratatouille by Pixar
A little off the subject maybe, but a request for you to think about the ethics of purchasing cheap trampolines. Please try and consider, for example, the things your product is made from, the human rights of the factories where they’re made and the green credentials of the retailer. Oh, and try to recycle your trampoline rather than throwing away. Thanks!!!!
(I approved this comment even though it’s spam… bc it’s kinda funny… trampolines??)
