1. Beer. You don’t have to remind me that I am German, that I am from the land of beer!, and that you’re totally flabbergasted that I don’t drink any. It’s just disgusting to me. I remember having my one and only beer on my 16th birthday. It took me...

I was sorting some papers, letters, and such today (on my day off) and came across a letter from my piano teacher. It was her birthday a couple of months ago. She turned 96. You didn’t know I had a piano teacher? Well, I am sure I’ve mentioned her before...
