I wore this outfit about 10 years ago, and I wore it again last night to pop out and do a bit of shopping.
Am 10. 1933 fand u.a. auf dem Opernplatz, heute Bebelplatz, die Bücherverbrennung statt.
Hinterm verkratzten Glas sieht man die leeren Bücherregale; ein Mahnmal von Micha Ullman.
Bei Nacht sind die Regale besser zu sehen und zu fotografieren.

Thursday 10 January.
Sometimes this 'love' thing is so inspiring. Yeah, don't burn me at the stake for saying it. Let go? Not yet, just a bit longer. A quick selfie to show how I'm feeling right now: pretty good/light as a feather. Hope it lasts.
"And I'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And I'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause I love you no?
Can't help but love, you know..."
Lyrics: I. Heap of Frou Frou

Inspired by Lulu, Emma, Jen, Alyssa and, well, so many others that have done this. I thought it was a cool idea, so I thought I might do one too, so here goes:
1 – I have lived in 5 countries in 5 continents. I’ve also traveled to 96 cities in 15 countries (I’d like this to be 60 by the time I’m 60). I grew up in Africa, but spent most of my childhood in Costa Rica.
2 – My favorite childhood movie was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. My favorite childhood cartoon was Tintin. I still love both to this day. I’m so glad that Peter Jackson is thinking about making a Tintin trilogy! My favorite book of all time is Animal Farm.
3 – I’m a bit of a geek at heart. I love tech stuff. I taught myself programming at the age of 10. I was assembling computers by the age of 12. I currently have 6 computers at home, 4 of which I built myself. [okay, enough of the geek stuff. Don’t want to scare you all away]
4 – I’ve always wanted to play the piano. I took lessons briefly in college and in SF. I showed up to my my 3rd piano class with the sheet music for Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2 and told my teacher that I want to play it. He promptly humbled me.
5 – I’m not an artist by the strictest definition of the word… but I’ve always wanted to be. I’ve studied music, painting, and I’m teaching myself photography, which is currently my only creative outlet. I think, in my next life, I would want to be an artist of some sort.
6 – Two subjects that I prefer to avoid when I talk to people are religion and politics. After having lived in so many places and having been exposed to so many religions, cultures, political views, it’s so difficult to make a case for one versus the other. I respect each person’s distinct beliefs. I do, however, believe that any form of blind fanaticism can be troubling.
7 - I try to be a perfectionist. Mediocrity bugs me… just about myself.
8 – I’ve never had a dog or a cat. I have had a gorgeous blue and gold macaw and two awesome parrots. If I had a white dog, I would name it Snowy (Tintin reference).
9 – The most important people in the world to me are my family. They're the only ones capable of giving me unconditional love.
10 – I like to surround myself with people who make me happy. There’s no room in my book for those that have a cynical view on everything in life (or those who are jerks, in general). I believe life is too short, and I want to spend it smiling and laughing… even if I have to be ignorant about certain things.
That’s all. Thank you for reading.
P.S. A very sincere thank you to all who took the time to help me. I’ve officially opened the store. Thank you SO much!
This week's theme in the 52 week challenge is Symmetry. I decided to show the 3 shots of symmetry in a triptych.
I have a love for the VW Kombi, though my ownership of one was a disaster when I was around 20.
Looks better when you press L.

We went camping this weekend and the kiddos got to have a great time playing with fire logs and running around!
The AMX-10 Vehicule d'Observation d'Artillerie (VOA) is variant of the AMX-10P that has been equipped with a new turret for artillery spotting duties. The vehicle has only a single machine gun as self-defense, but sports cutting-edge systems in support of its mission. Laser rangefinders, telescopic optics and powerful radios allow the VOA to pinpoint hostile formations or strongpoints and call down the thunder.
Built for the Brickfair Virginia 2019 Cold War collaborative display.

Yesterday my Winter Chalet project reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas! It is an important goal for me, a dream that has come true! I want to thank all the friends and AFOL supporters of the project. Without you I would never have succeeded. Now I just have to wait to see the results of the Review ...
Thank you all!

Always to work in tight spaces, here is a beautiful piece that helps, especially if coupled with spheres of the hinges.
My wonderful just-married friends S and J are staying with us for a couple of days, and I stayed up until way too late last night watching S help launch a new music show on our TV network. No, really. She was awesome. And I fed her goldfish crackers and beer while she did all the work.
Anyhoo. My closet is in the guest bedroom, so I had to pick out an outfit last night. To make matter worse, I had a bunch of media folks visiting from various UK agencies today (and the British Consulate!), and am also going to see the Green Day musical tonight. All of those things made it very stressful to figure out what to wear, so of course I went for a little black dress.
I wish I had a detailed shot of the lacy fabric and silk cummerbund, but alas, I left my camera on and the battery is d-e-d dead.

10. Aftermath
On January 28, 2016, Donald Trump declined to attend the GOP debate in Des Moines Iowa. Instead, he held a rally for Veterans at Drake University at the same time. I was able to grab some shots both inside and outside while waiting with a crowd made up mostly of veterans. There were a few protests as well.
Trump went on to finish second in the Iowa Caucus.

From a talk show in New Orleans with Drs. Peggy and Melanie Rudd, and one of local Tri-Ess officers whose name has escaped me. Peggy's books were widely read and they were instrumental in forming the earliest support groups for spouses and couples. I spent many wonderful afternoons and evenings at their home, and it was a privilege to know them. (Melanie passed away several years ago.)
ماشا الله
