Almost every day something happens to me that I think is note-worthy//should be written down. But of course, I never write anything down these days.  I am in the middle of the biggest/longest writing slump of my young life and it is startin to kind of upset me.  Will I ever write again?

As a substitute for writing I keep myself busy with a whole

I can't believe you're 26! I'm almost 27, so it makes sense that you would be 26, but still. In my mind, when I think of you, we're still those teenage high school students in Germany!

I know. My friend Phuong is still 16 in my mind.
Whenever I go to HER flat (!) where she lives with her boyfriend (!) I'm like and see her cooking and being all grown up I'm like, "What is going on here!"
So... What is amazing to me is, next summer will be the ten year anniversary of our exchange year. I'm trying to think how to celebrate it... I think a trip to Wermelskirchen might be in order. When I visit Portland in March I'm gonna pick up my old Gymnasium school calendar (I still have it! Diddle Mouse and everything) and see what my first day of Gymnasium was so I can mark the DATE that Phuong walked into my life-- or rather, I walked into hers.
But ten years. TEN YEARS?! Can that be true?!!!!

I know, I was just thinking the other day that it's been ten years! I really can't believe it! It makes me feel so old...

And I should have said I'm almost 28. Apparently I can't count. Dementia setting in...

[sunslant]

are you going to be back in Portland for good? or just a visit?

[bestobreezy]

Just for a visit!!
Berlin is home now... or anyway, home base. We have the feeling that wherever else we might life, we'll return to Berlin.
But then again-- who knows what might happen!
