Why Blog?

Because I'm 40, and it's good to feel trendy now and then.
Because I need to keep writing, writing, writing....
Because my friends almost surely don't want to get all this blather clogging up their email inboxes...
Because somebody somewhere wants to hear my thoughts on German politics, Berlin culture, and my struggles to find decent fish, great chocolate, and reasonable vanilla ice cream.
Because everyone wants to hear about Eve, as she bursts into toddlerhood.
