We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!
Thanks to sentense.me for posting this, Little Augury for sharing it, and Bertrand Russell for saying it. Here's a book by Bertrand Russell that I plan to buy soon:
Bertrand Russell was my first crush. Really. I was 12. The book was History of Western Philosophy and it didn't even have a picture... but I knew I loved him!
I have minutes, literally, before my students come in to begin the day. I just had to stop by and tell you how much I LOVE your three words. Hope your day is terrific.
Tabitha, seriously?! That is the coolest thing ever.
V.--heh, good question!
Relyn, thank you so much for spending valuable before-school time to drop by. I had fun coming up with three words (anyone reading this--if you don't know what I'm talking about, please visit Relyn's blog and pick three words of your own!).

What if I'm fearful but decide to be eccentric in opinion anyway? ;-)
