My first surprise was my ex-wife at the door, with a straw box of goodies not to be opened 'til this morning. Since she lives 3 hours away, wow. But after all the sweets and ayurvedic teas, the Darjeeling Limited film and Moby Dick and marzipan... there was my long lost Stickman, a book of poetry from John Trudell. (CH) peace to you he scribbled, with a gentle reminder of something in Lakota.
Just the exact moment the ex-wife was angling for an invitation to stay, comes an sms from a young wonder from Berlin, telling me she'll be here in an hour. even though she's 20 cm taller than me (and probably still growing!), she became the second wonderful surprise.

"They respond to tactile cues, they recognize different wavelengths of light, they listen to chemical signals, they can even talk" through chemical signals. Touch, sight, hearing, speech. "These are sensory modalities and abilities we normally think of as only being in animals," Dr. Hilker said.
