911





I've been copying some of Fred's tricks and kept Karl busy by building him stuff to topple over. Here he is with a nice set of twin towers, Karl and I used to play 911 with Karl as American Airlines flight # 11 and me following him as United Airlines flight # 175. Alright. slightly awkward segueway into announcing Karl's birthday next week, which is on November 9th. In European numerals that reads 911 as well, and in Germany that is also a date burdened by quite a bit of history, like the November revolution of 1918, the pogroms of 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. So maybe I'll just go back a few lines and start over. Wanna hear some deconstructivism phase puns? Like in "Hey, don't scold me, dad, Gehry did it"? Or maybe I just dig that hole even deeper and show you Karl sitting in front of a Freedom Tower version of his toy pile, smirking mischieviously.

Are you guys OK ... or just busy preparing for the big day? It's been a week since you posted and your spoiled fans are getting worried ;-)

We do apologize. We got sidetracked, swept away and distracted by the banalities of life. There were two presentations to be done (Fred) and a company move (Andrian), which should not and shall never again be an excuse to not document Karl's life in the wonderfully slow lane of a Bavarian childhood.

hmmm.... that's quite a weird game to play guys...
but on a diff. note, those building blocks..or buckets and cds are quite cool visually :)
