Language week

I see from Mausi that it's language week again. Like Mausi I participated (lame though it was) in 2005 and missed it last year for some reason. I'm going to try posting in German (with English translations) once a day; I haven't been in a German class* in, let's see, 29 months**, so it's not exactly going to be Goethe around here but I'll give it a shot.

* And even when I was taking classes, my written German was always my weakest point by far.

** Huh. The Small Boy is 29 months old. What a coincidence!!
