About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to run one more marathon and continue writing nonsense

ABOUT ME

I'm a retired teacher from a German Gymnasium, read too much, run around a lot, swim, play golf, drink too much coffee, have trouble with order (not quite a certified messy).
Due to my age I might seem a bit boring.
It would be nice to have guests who like to cook and appreciate the great outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Movement, change, mistrust of conspiracy theories, good food.
