Friday night – Miriam and Henri

tied up some loose ends after a very busy week Left work about 8 PM and still had enough light for a run… Miriam’s BF Henri came to town to pick her up for vacation..  I’d never met Henri.. he’s really nice !

 I made them dinner around 10:30 pm by cooking everything that was left in my fridge.. It was pretty good for cheese  ravioli with tofu and basil tomatoe  sauce and random cheese leftovers !

it was fun to have dinner guests in my tiny apartment !

Wednesday night – Good day at work

I had a very good day at work today. Our team hosted our Chairman Ginni R here at the Munich Center.. I had the honor of showing her around our beautiful center. . It was fun and inspirign to get to spend time  with her. 

As always, I make it a habit not  to talk about work meetings here in this blog…

..even so,  I cant resist sharing a few pictures from the town hall hosted by GInni and my (amazing) boss H. .. The Chairman did a really great job connecting with all the folks at the center. Her comments and answers to questions were right on.. .. , inspiring and fun… I loved every minute of it. 

 

One of the hilight s was gettign to be there with my team.. The Department of Wow. Our very own Dawn A .. got to give a talk about being a ‘wild duck’.. .. she told a great story about triumphing  over technical adversity… .. and pur team was there to cheer her on. 

    As the team and I walked out to grab dinner… I found this balloon lying on the ground..

A good close to the day..

It was a really good day to be part of this company…

Tuesday night – Mut zur Lücke

I learned a great phrase in German today .. “Mut zur Lücke” .. literally it means ‘courage to/for the gap”I’ve been reading definitions of it in german.. and some of  the good ones I found is the bravery to move ahead when you are not certain.. or the courage to move”.. or the courage to jump the gap..

i love that thought !… 

i need it .. tomorrow is a big  day
