Just a thought

…soar at different altitudes.

On March 20th: I am out of there… on vacation. GONE!
On April 1: Officially retired. but not… Working at what I want, how I want, with the people I want. BLISS!

Now the Snowbirds are back frolicking in my back yard. An eagle soared overhead, not bothered at all by the noise above and people below.

Cool still, but a lovely crisp day. Here’s a clip.

It’s 4 am in Basel…

March 2, 2009

… Morgestraich!

The city lights go out at 4 am sharp. From the many small alleys and larger side streets cliques of masked drummers and fifer’s march towards the Market Square in Basel. Each clique is lead by a huge lantern that shows this year’s motif. Read about this incredible event: Fasnacht in Basel.

It’s three days, of madness, pageantry, colour, tradition, fun. I’m watching this from here and my eyes tear up… Homesick. I want to be there so badly.

Live cams are sprinkled throughout the downtown core. For the next 3 days and nights these cameras will record the event.
I’ll be watching!
