I have sent the RD an inquiry about just getting a shirt. I'll post the response.

You're right, I should have chosen my words better.

In other words it will be the first of many - you don't need to do all three in the same year.
Good luck getting the t-shirt though!

If I'm not in, on my way to or recently back from China in late September next year; I think a DE w-e may be in order. If I can get one shirt, I can get two - hint.

Bavaria, but of course. We fly into Munich, and will visit relatives [and brauereis] in Straubing, Regensburg, and make the turn back towards Munich and spend two days in Freising - home of Brauerei Weihenstephan...

I am really smiling- spent 2 weeks in Germany and Austria at age 15, because I was a language major. Munich, Garmisch, Wiesbaden, Salzburg are among my fondest memories. Add to that no official age for drinking and Germany was a natural fit. The Hofbrauhaus!!!! Giant steins of bier = many happy hornified teenagers. Our chaperones were all young,too. I did not like the food, however, as it disagreed with my stomach.It is pouring here today so it is a good day to be at work and will make for some nicely mucky trail running tonite. Gag-someone here just loaded up with 100 proof perfume.Why do women do this? Because they have totally decimated their own sense of smell and are hellbent on ruining ours. It freaking reeks like flowery burnt tires.

I love the food, the people, and everything about Bavaria. I cannot wait.
Nevertheless, I will take my running shoes along, as I may never get to run in a more picturesque setting ever again in my life... And, in response to your question, perhaps it is mating season? You know, putting "the scent" out there to attract prospects...? I know, ignorance is not a defense... I hate it when anyone does that, gender aside...

Granted the tires weren't burning, but did I ever mention the girl I worked with in the bike store??? You can read a little bit about her here. Sense of smell (now THAT'S a pun!!!) can be very powerful for bringing memories forward.

That being said, if the girls around me smelled of flowers and fresh rubber, I'd have a stupid smile on my face.

no you wouldn't.....they eat all day long and spray perfume or
lotion when not eating....one of them just burned something in the toaster oven. This is the burning tires meets flower reekage. There is nothing at all pleasant.
Mating season? Not the way they are eating-hibernation must be looming.I decided this is a test of my patience and olfactory capabilities and will prepare me for the hours ahead, when I must sit in a filthy mechanics shop, having brakes applied. I must wait to run later in the fresh air. As for Bavaria- bakeries and beer! Wonderful!

As a Scorpio, I am blessed with TWO mating seasons ... "now" and "later."

When I was 15 I signed my family up to host a German exchange student, then my sister and I went out there for about 6 weeks. It was great! I discovered food - saugages, beer, chocolate and french fries.After getting married we also spent some time there, but were in Berlin and Hamburg. It was much different being there as an adult and cured me of any thoughts that I had about moving there. We were there during the time of reunification and it was really hard to hear how bitter my friends were from West germany about joining up with East Germany. Now I can't remember a lick of German...but I do still love German beer. Never was in Bavaria though - hmmmmmmmmmmm

Office work is kind of hellish in an enclosed space. Someone is always doing something that intrudes on your space without really meaning to, like they just put leftover fish in the microwave or something. That said, I haven't posted in a while because I've been making the numbers from one report match the numbers from another report. It's tedious beyond belief. Yesterday I realized I would have had no problem doing this job when I was eighteen. The interns turned out great, though. They're cheerful, industrious, smart, and up for anything. Still, it's a small office and they had a station on that coughed up Billy Joel's Piano Man earlier this week and I reeled around and made them change the channel. There are limits to what I can take. They think I'm funny but crazy, probably. Also I think they feel sorry for me because they recognize my job sucks so bad, which is humbling. Apparently 'humblng' is the new theme in my life.

My goal for today is to do anything I can to retain my usual cheerfulness. There are 30 women in this tiny office, so I must expect constant eating and perfume. Trying to change how I see things, so I can get thru the day. Some of them eat at least seven "meals" a day, in all seriousness.I know all about making reports try to match. My sister used to oversee a sheltered workshop, where disabled adults earned a meager living assembling small items. They would do this until the items were all finished. Their next task was to then disassemble them. She said they never knew but it made her so crazy to see this. I think of that a lot at work. Race tonite, with a massive beer tent. The best offerings will be Labatts and Bud. The music will be good though!

I had a VERY BAD "Piano Man" experience a couple years ago. Apparently, in certain parts of PA - primarily the Harrisburg / Scranton corridor, i.e., the Susquehanna Valley - it is perfectly acceptable, nay, a requisite that when "Piano Man" comes on the jukebox, ALL bar activity is suspended for 5:38 while the population sings along. It was agonizing.

Of course, it could have been much, much worse ..."A bottle of white ... A bottle of red ... Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead"
I always thought it was "Brenda Ranetti" Anyone else???
