We'll start off today with telling everyone who doesn't know - that it's AJ's 18th birthday today!! I met him when he was still a grade-schooler...time goes fast, and so much changes (whether you're ready for the changes, or not)! This time next year he will be in college and starting towards all of those "grown up" dreams...so if you get a chance, please tell him Happy Birthday!!
Now, my "learning experience" for the day. I left work at 4:30 because I had to get home to meet the immigration guy who did all of my Visa work. He was bringing back my passport so that I could get on the plane on Friday - so I wasn't missing that appointment. :) Well, I got on the 4:30 bus to head to the train. We're driving the way we always do...and all of the sudden...we go right past the train station! Now, I'm not sure if I'm on the "wrong" bus or not...but as far as I know...only one bus comes onto the Rolls-Royce campus (I will have to check on that tomorrow). So, I quickly ask the girl behind me...and she told me that, on the earlier bus (I typically leave at 5:30) you have to hit a "stop" button above your head, if you want the driver to stop somewhere! Luckily, she had just hit it for her stop...and we were still on the same road...so I just got off at her stop and walked back to the train station (it was about a 7 minute walk -- got me an extra 1000 steps on my counter)! I was early enough...I think the train comes at 4:54 or 4:59...that I made it back across the tracks before the train got there!! Shew! Flat Tony's pic is at the train stop...it's sort of an "ey yi yi" look!
All ended well, and I have my passport back in hand!
Good-night and God-bless,
from Berlin
