some times i wonder

i don't mind living my life day by day, putting in the hours (ok, maybe it's not even much of a choice) just as practice for things to come.

i have come to the conclusion that even if what i do today is not important it could prepare me for something to come tomorrow that could change the world, or at least change something.

but still, i wonder. i wonder to myself every now and again what i am practicing for, when will i get my chance to make the change. perhaps i should be a bit more proactive on my way to the future, stretching out my hands to mold the days to come, but i have always been more typically the one to sit back and see how things unfold, placing my special crease on just the right part at just the right moment.

but still, i wonder.

word of the day: rutschig

it means slippery.

sometimes you learn a word and forget it because you don't end up using it for a couple days, and then when you would like it, it is already forgotten. i learned rutschig and most of it's variations i couple of weeks ago in class and was delighted when i got to use it the next day, and the next, and the next.

rocco's youngest son, jaron, is the main attraction when it comes to rutschen (slipping). he's about 3 and a half (3,5 if you wanna look at it German-ically. they use commas where we in the US would use points. not always easy to get used to) and he falls on his face. a lot.

but we all slip in this way or that. things slip my mind more often than jaron's feet from underneeth himself. this makes it hard to learn new words here and there, but i'm getting better.

.jrs.

another good cause

i was reading another blog the other day and found a suggestion to do something easy, fun and worth while.

i've seen a couple of these types of fundraisers, more of a "give me a reason to give money" tied to "hey look a this great organization more," and i have to say i like what i see.

here are my beards.
