Werder ist Juli Meister! 1-2. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
** It was actually a well-played game, and Werder gave notice that they are likely to be dangerous this year, despite losing their superstar Diego and top striker Pizzaro. i enjoyed the match immensely, not least because it gave me respite from investigating Chinese wind turbine insanity. (The Chinese are building every possible type and scale of wind turbine, plus some impossible. Despite not getting the previous generations to work.) "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
It was fun to hear her summations:
America is too expensive. America is too proud to learn from other countries. America is obsessed with WWII. But Americans are far nicer than Germans or other Europeans. Americans are interested in other people's opinions about everything. Chicago Oktoberfest is totally legit and authentic. Chicago Kristkindlmarket is not authentic except for the food. (I would have guessed the opposite...) "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
