no.214 or the with a leprechaun named gaia

it's march friends-m.a.r.c.h. 2009

it seems like the holidays just happened
(since i have YET to remove the arificial xmas tree from our living room...i can see where that little nugget hails)

so where has the time gone?
have we been skiing and working and schooling and working and skiing and
wait-
is that the sound of a teeny little laugh in the distance?

could it possibly be the sound of the world's ONLY scottish leprechaun?!!
why yes it could.

Gaia is coming to germany-and not a moment too soon for any of us-
Gaia included!

we cannot WAIT to see her
even if her plane is a red-eye
we cannot WAIT to hug her
even if we have to smash on top of each other to reach
we cannot WAIT to simply
be
with
her.

we cannot.

so grandpadad...if by chance you read this...
please
work on getting healthy enough to fly.
because we miss you too,
and know that if ever there was a scottish leprechaun, there was a jewish one too...

kisses and wishes
hope and virute
umarmen und lieben
essie
