I've Been Tagged!
I've been tagged by Janet and I'm finally getting to it on a three day weekend.
It's an interesting task to itemize yourself like this. I tended to want to qualify everything, but here I am - unqualified. : )
1. When I was in my teens and twenties, music was like food and drink to me - as necessary and constant - but in my thirties, when I had kids, all I craved was silence - so vast swaths of 80s and 90s popular music are unknown to me.
2. I'm an atheist and comfortable with that. I try not to be self-righteous.
3. I value kindness and generous hearted, good humored people. Life's too short to be a mean spirited jerk.
4. I'm a librarian and love to read. (Duh) Here are some books I've loved:
The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Saturday by Ian McEwan
Stormy Weather by Paulette Jiles
Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neil
The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein
Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Far From the Tree by David Solomon
The Book of Ebebezer Le Page
5. I was featured in a medical textbook when I was 14. It wasn't for my high IQ :)
6. I've been a vegetarian since my 20s but sometimes wonder if that's self indulgent in a world with so much human misery.
7. I love to laugh. That sounds fatuous but I REALLY love to laugh the kind of laugh when you're falling all over someone to keep yourself from falling down, your stomach muscles hurt, you're trying not to pee your pants or snort through your nose and you feel like you've run a marathon when you're finally done. Except you keep thinking about what set you off and start laughing again. I love that.
8. These were some of my life goals when I was in my 20s. I guess I wasn't enormously ambitious!
1. Travel
2. Have a girl before I was 30
3. Work with kids
4. Marry a man with curly hair who cooked
5. Move to Vermont or California
6. Live abroad
AND .........................here's the breakdown
1. Yes, until my mid twenties but a lot less than I wanted.
2. Nope - 4 boys - all different all wonderful
3. Yes, I taught for years.
4. Yep, no more curly hair but he's still cooking!
5. Vermont
6. Yep, lived in Ireland
9. I don't get - I mean I REALLY don't get couples who vote different political parties. It's like - how could you live with someone with a totally different world view???? I know that people do - and I'm not meaning to sound intolerant - I just don't understand how it works.
10. I was involved with a very radical educational philosophy for years (Sudbury Valley Model) I still think it's the only educational model worthy of the label "paradigm shift."
11. What the hell. I'll do an extra one. I'm Left Left Left all the way but the left can still drive me crazy. I'm also (this should be 12 probably) part of a weekly peace vigil that meets every Friday and has done since before the invasion of Iraq.
War is not the answer.

My time is limited these days, so I'm only consistently posting for the Vintage Photos Theme Park group - sharing with my other vintage photos fanatic friends. : )
I have many other subjects I like to photograph, as my albums show and someday I'll get back to posting more again.
Best wishes!
PS: habe bei meiner Frau durchgesetzt dass ich einmal die Woche kochen und die Küche danach aufräumen darf.
I am sorry I do not speak German - the translation on your comment does not seem to be very accurate, as I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Apologies!
I did this quite a while ago. Some things would change, not many, but I'll leave it as it was!
The biggest difference, apart from different wars : ( is that for various reasons I am no longer vegetarian.
But that's a long conversation.
Oh, yes, also not a library Director anymore - I retired.
Max Biobauer club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubJa manchmal ändert sich einiges im Leben. In meinem gab es verschiedene einschneidene Erlebnisse. Ich möchte nur noch wenige Jahre auf meiner Farm arbeiten und dann andere Dinge tun. Ich habe dann genug Geld erarbeitet, um nicht bis ins hohe Alter arbeiten zu müssen. In Amerika darf man das angeblich sagen und bekommt dafür Anerkennung? In Deutschland bekommt man überwiegend viel Neid, wenn man mehr Geld verdient als andere.
What do you hope to do after farming?
I do find if interesting how truly different cultures respond to things. My friend has lived in Berlin since the '80s and i'm always fascinated to hear how differently Germans act or respond in ways that are often so very different from the ways she does.
I emigrated to the US when I was 10 - and even though I shared a common language, it was still such a different culture to the one we had left behind in England - on a million levels!
Max Biobauer club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubIch möchte demnächst das machen, wofür ich bisher zu wenig Zeit hatte. Vor allem mehr reisen, angeln, jagen, lesen, vielleicht Bildbände produzieren und Bücher schreiben und das Leben zu zweit, mit Freunden und den Kindern (Enkeln) genießen. Reisen möchte ich mit Wohnwagen oder Fernreisemobil. Außerdem möchte ich eine Motorradsammlung von bestimmten DDR-Motorrädern anlegen und daran schrauben. Zwei von sechs Modellen habe ich schon. ;-)
How distressing it must be for you to see it worsening, rather than improving.
I sincerely hope that you are soon able to enjoy the life you mentioned with your partner, children, and grandchildren!
It looks like you have some wonderful activities and ambitions to look forward to.
With my best wishes.
Max Biobauer club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubUnd ich persönlich habe nicht nur die ersehnte Freiheit gewonnen, sondern hatte die Möglichkeit mich selbstständig zu machen und mir Wohlstand zu erarbeiten.
Vermutlich hätte ich die selbe Arbeit gehabt, wenn es den Mauerfall nicht gegeben hätte. Nur hätte ich lediglich ein bescheidenes Vermögen am Ende meines Arbeitslebens gehabt und hätte mir niemals etwas von der westlichen Welt anschauen können. Aber das ist eine theoretische Betrachtung, denn die DDR war wirtschaftlich und politisch am Ende 1989. Ich bin froh, dass es so kam und habe meine Chancen optimal genutzt.
Meine Kinder sind auch auf einem guten Weg und haben schon einiges von der Welt gesehen, trotz ihrer Jugend. Sie sind schon viel weiter rumgekommen als ich.
Meine Tochter studiert medizinische Biotechnik und war unter anderem schon in der USA. Mein Sohn war nach dem Abitur als Backpacker ein Jahr in Neuseeland und Australien. Er hat dort 5 Monate gearbeitet und beide Länder vom Verdienst bereist. Er ist sehr ehrgeizig hat in Deutschland Biologie studiert und in Schweden gerade ein Masterstudium in Meeresbiologie erfolgreich absolviert. Er ist grad beim Umzug zurück nach Deutschland und wird demnächst sein Arbeitsleben beginnen. Es läuft gut für unsere Familie.
Aber selbst wenn sie noch promovieren, sind ihre Chancen eine hohe Führungsposten in der Wirtschaft oder an der Universität zu bekommen deutlich geringer, als wenn sie in einem der westlichen Bundesländer geboren wären. Obwohl sie rund zehn Jahre nach dem Mauerfall im geeinten Deutschland geboren sind. Aber sie werden ihren Weg gehen, wie auch ich meinen Weg gegangen bin.
Das Du im weiten Amerika davon noch nichts gehört hast, ist kein Wunder. Es ist eher ein internes deutsches Problem und außerdem das Problem einer kleinen Bevölkerungsgruppe. Und den größeren Teil der deutschen Bevölkerung betrifft und interessiert es damit nicht. Ich schätze auch bei Ipernity gibt's höchstens 20 ostdeutsche Fotografen und von denen äußerst sich kaum jemand zu solchen Themen öffentlich.
I think that was the driving idea behind the universal language of Esperanto, right?
Thanks for correcting my incorrect interpretations, Max. I'm happy things are far better than I believed (for a short time.)
: )
Tatsächlich sollte Deutsch sogar mal Amtssprache in der Europäischen Union werden. Aber die Mehrheit hatte damals die Deutschen wohl noch in zu schlechter Erinnerung und so begnügte man sich damit nur das deutsche Geld willkommen zu heißen. ;-)
I am embarrassed to have no other language than English. So stupid in today's world - but knowing what we know about how children learn languages, how stupid is it that we don't begin to seriously learn another language until we are teenagers?!
Max Biobauer club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubIn Deutschland lernt man heute schon ab dem dritten Schuljahr Englisch und später noch eine zweite Sprache. Deswegen können die jungen Leute heute sehr gut englisch. In Skandinavien spricht praktisch jeder perfekt englisch. Mein Sohn hat ja in Schweden studiert. Da waren alle Vorlesungen auf Englisch. Er hat nebenbei auch noch ein wenig schwedisch gelernt. Eine Tochter meiner Partnerin spricht bei ihrer Arbeit in Deutschland auch nur englisch.
Ich ärger mich aber auch, fast keine Fremdsprache zu können, denn wenn man mit dem Zirkel einen Kreis von 300 Meilen um meinen Wohnort zieht, werden acht verschiedene Sprachen gesprochen.
Norwegisch, Dänisch, Schwedisch, Polnisch, Tschechisch, Französisch (in Belgien), Luxemburgisch und Niederländisch + Deutsch natürlich. ;-)
