More early morning rambling…

Still can’t sleep. I took a nap with the kids this afternoon so they would make it to midnight and evidently threw a wrench in the works of my biological clock. I’ve mentioned in years past how much Germans love to shoot fireworks to welcome in the new year. This year was no exception although the folks in the Kalsis’ neighborhood don’t exhibit the same zeal as our neighbors (although we probably only live a kilometer or so apart).Here’s a ghostly looking Sophia making sparkler circles.Robert, for whom discretion has always dominated any sense of valor, chose to stay inside. That kid cracks me up. Anyway, here are a few more shots of the festivities. Finally, the haze in the shot below is not fog; it’s the smoke from countless fireworks shot all around the neighborhood.
