My daughter asked a few days ago if Santa was allowed to go to stores and buy everything without going through the cashiers...Smart girl!

Thoughts about Pregnancy

No revelation here: I am not thinking about having a third child!!! A dear friend of mine on LI is going to have her second child; the due date is around mid-January, which means I am not going to see the baby. This is triggering a lot of feelings of course. In the first place because I know how a pregnant woman feels about babies: suddenly there is nothing more important, more beautiful, more precious and delicate than your child, even if it's just as big as a tennis ball and even if it makes you feel sick from morning to evening or tired as if constantly jet-legged. Or too sensitive or just freaked out. Even pathetic at times. When a good friend has a baby, I respect her need for rest but I am very glad to get to see her and the new-born and maybe do something together that might help her feel not too lonely without making her too tired. It's a very intense and very emotional phase of a woman's life. And I AM NOT GOING TO BE THERE. It is clear to me that - at least i...

We are packing again. Tomorrow we will leave for Japan: Ralph has a meeting in Kobe and we are following him. The weather doesn't seem to be too good, with some tropical storms and winds, but it will hopefully get better. ...of course I am happy, but the idea of SUCH a long flight is terrifying. Guess I will have to relax and just post again when I am there, since it might really appear to you it's more a torture than a pleasure. Japan is one of the countries I love most. I love Japanese people, food, sights, colors, language, sounds - yeah, some might even be disgusting, but they are part of the fun. Besides, I have tons of good memories related to Japan; lot of dear friends (I know, some might argue a friend is someone you see very often, but me...no, I don't have such friends). The photo above was taken six years ago, in front of the Pacific Ocean, in Chigasaki. eeeeee...... Last, but not least, I met Ralph in Japan.

Meditate

This morning I had a very inspirational moment; brought Carlotta to pre-school - after a very busy breakfast which included several interruptions to prepare lunch, feed the kids, get them started - and instead of the usual errand run I went to the beach. Baby Bastian was falling asleep in the car, so I did not take any walk but stayed at the parking lot for a good half an hour and watched the Sound, the waves and the ferry approaching Port Jefferson and the fumes of some factory down in Connecticut. Also I listened to the radio. Just some cheap pop. But it was nice, very nice indeed. Guess I will miss this view... I don't know if it's the water, the waves...or the horizon...In Berlin there is no horizon: you can go to different Towers and look around and you would still see Berlin. My theory is that this lack of view is one of the reason why Berliners are kind of hard-spirited. Not all of them, but generally they are. Don't get me wrong, I like it here and there, and everyw...
