That was quite a party night. We went to several bars in my birth town and I made an agreement with one of my friends to be my wing woman. Well, she agreed on three dates for herself and finally took me home.

As Closed As Ever
Back in the town where I was born. This old youth association building and its history have been featured briefly with a photo from 2019 in this post.

It’sContinue reading “So This Is Where You Learned To Skateboard Part II”

It was very wintry there, and he was really happy about it. I really am not a keen fan of snow and frost, but of courseContinue reading “Winter Games & Ruins”
