Wandering around Berlin then - people were crossing the once border and then crossing back like they were in a daze.
A euphoria that was indescribable...
Forgetting is impossible when the Russians are blowing shit up in your "neighborhood." Ukrainian refugees are everywhere in Prague, and their kids are in the schools. There is a very keen sense that the US is the country most likely to forget, but there is still hope that they will not.

Our daughter spent the Fall semester of 2014 at Charles University in Prague and that’s how I got to know Jorn! My wife and I had the chance to visit her in November of that year and the trip was very memorable and way too short.

Sunny so walked to Notre Dame to see the timber framing of the roof. Scaffolding kind of blocks it, but one of the cranes just finished moving or lifting something up there.

At work today I was talking to one of the designers and told him that a part he had designed reminded me of a flying buttress.
His response: "If it was good enough for them, it should be good enough for us!"
