Ein Moment.

How old are you? ... Oh when John put that funny mask on... Somethings you need increments of time for. Like the question how old are you...is traditionally answered in years. One could use months or minutes and if you want to be really tricky seconds... The thing is when it comes down to it that's not what matters. The moments are what matters. When recalling your life you don't say "oh yea", with a grin, "second 945,000". You say, "oh yea", with a grin recalling your first kiss. Life is measurable and memorable which is more important? I say memorable. Make your life memorable. That doesn't mean you have to visit Africa and see an elephant bathing it's baby in the watering hole...or go to China and hike the great wall, just take time to fully experience everything. For example. You count down the days until your German exchange student arrives but what you'll really remember are the stressful days and anticipation filled moments leading up until you meet. When you meet, that's something you'll look back on and tell your grandkids about. Not month 196 day 22.

6 days till Germans. I can NOT wait. :)
