| Introduction | Still alive and kicking, and enjoying spending the winter months in Little England and the summer in Braunschweig, Germany. I have one life which I attempt to live with zest and enthusiasm, although I do get very tired. I suffer from the delusion that I'm only 40 years old and will never grow up. "Adventure before Dementia" is my motto. I am engaged in a continual battle with the German language, a battle, which I´m glad to say, I´m now winning. |

Where I am there arises a place. Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself. In sitting just sit, when standing just stand, above all don't wobble.
