<p>Good Morning,</p> <p>a miserably wet day today - no sign of summer anymore. Proof of my tag line!</p> <p>Janie, dear, this is Sunday, so I´ll go for a big breakfast this morning, crisp fried bacon, scrambled eggs, buttered toas & preserves, a tall glass of OJ and a gallon of strong coffee, please.</p> <p>The morning call to the hospital revealed that my Mom is doing fine - under the given circumstances. Petra and I had a lengthy and not so nice discussion with my dadlast night. Unless he changes his opinion again, he now seems to agree, that a move into an assisted living facility has become necessary. We will start to look for a place now. This will not be an easy undertaking...</p> <p>Jeff - I am amazed - your translation of Nena´s "99 Balloons" is right on the spot. The "original" English version bears only little resemblance to the German lyrics.</p> <p>Chris - pal, we must have had the same art teacher. Mine was a leftover of the Woodstock festival, gone into arts.Actually, she was kind of cute and a brave one - teaching 16 year olds in an all boys school. Luckily (for her) we were all in love with her, so we did not give her a hard time.</p> <p>Rob - agrred - Chris´ posts make me chuckle as well!</p> <p>Jim - good to hear from you - we missed you lately!</p> <p>Curt - "Silent Night" was written by Joseph Mohr in 1816, and the music composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. It was first sung Christmas 1818 in the church of St. Nicolai in Oberndorf, near Salzburg/Austria. Whether the organ of that church was broken or not has never been approved. Faller, IIRC has a model of that church available.</p> <p>Alvie - Rammstein and Kraftwerk are two of the very few bands that made it to international fame. The majority of German pop music is, well, just painful. </p> <p>I guess y´ all are getting ready for tomorrow´s birthday party ( except those living NOB). Play it safe!</p> <p>Have a good one!</p>
