Jokers Cave of Games

As many might have noticed, it has been some time since my last input here. This has not been due to lack of events that have transpired, but rather the opposite. In fact, I have a somewhat horrendous backlog of things to write about, if I could just find the time! Some of the happiest moments of my life thus far have transpired, and some of the most sad ones. I have wed my beautiful wife (she helped a bit, naturally... I mostly said... "I do") and been on a very interesting honeymoon... week. Matters have not really calmed down yet. Even though the touching ceremony of the double funeral is now behind us, there remains a lot of stressful matters to attend to. Papers, papers, papers everywhere dealing with debts, accounts, bills and other economic matters. Add to this the more physical things that need to be sorted, moved and so on, and it amounts to a lot. Such a thing is rarely discussed, so it's new for everyone who has to go through it, unfortunately. Death is somet...

We enjoyed the very last remains of winter in Svabenverk, and Amanda hooked up for a walk together with the dogs, which was a nice treat. I don't think I ever promised not to mention her misfortune when she stepped through the upper crust of the snow and immersed herself up to the hipbone, but just to be safe, I won't. Personally, I am celebrating this excursion into the wild of Svaben, since it this time offered me the opportunity to catch on film (card) that most elusive creature of all - the nightdweller that is so extremely hard to lure from it's lair - the teenager! And a prime specimen it is! But it did turn out pretty well on camera, I must say ;)  And speaking of spring, check out the bounding leaps of Audi below. Imagine being on a walk with two of those energypacks along. Lying on your back in the grass and having these thunder by is like hearing a freighttrain pass! They are a very interesting and special breed, the Whippets. I will get back to them later.  ...
