We are living a cozy Christmas period in Herrenberg with our family; Peter, Anne and their children are here, and Marie Luise and Christoph too. Our kids are happy and overwhelmed with joy and surprises (they saw Santa leaving our house after dropping the presents!). Guni cooked a delicious parmigiana di melanzane.

I enjoy singing and playing Paolo Conte’ songs lately.

It’s a beautiful time.

It’s a very cold winter it seems to me, and I not going out much these days. Plus teleworking, plus covid restrictions equals a time not extremely exiting and social lately. But in the meantime they took away from my mouth a tooth with an oral surgery procedure, so I not getting bored anyway.

Third Covid vaccine dose today, the so called “booster”.

I am reading a Jack Reacher’s book by Lee Child and I like the feeling of liking it and enjoying looking forward to reading more of the story. Once or twice a year it happens to me, a lousy reader, to come across a book i feel good about. Like the recent ones on chemistry and quantum mechanics by Tim James.

And I got the feeling I need to return soon, again, to dream in the Foundation’s Universe.

Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy is my favorite novel. My dream. Feeling like returning back home.

Also Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001 Space Odissey and Randevouz with Rama are immensely great. But Foundation is touching base with myself.

4 days at the feet of the Vesuvius, where I did grow up … like many other things. 4 days with an heroic Diego, who gives us love, joy and vision of the sense of life.

Meeting Matthias. A short but intense nice time. Thanks for visiting us Compare!

Today first time Qigong and Tai Chi lesson in Herrenberg. First time ever live (and not online/remote). In the open air, with a beautiful countryside view in front of me. Splendid. A great start of weekend.
