Friday night I gave my first event speech (in German) for the Volksbildungswerk Nordenstadt-Erbenheim-Delkenheim's 40th-anniversary celebration. It went well. (I took over the reins as managing director last month.)

I was featured in the local paper, the "Wiesbadener Kurier," on Wednesday.

We were just in La Ciotat, France, for a couple of days. Fun getaway. We flew on Lufthansa. A friend of mine found out I was there and messaged me asking if I could bring back a kilogram of Robusta coffee for him. I couldn't comply, so by way of letting him know, I just sent him this:

15th 2-minute-plus hang in a row (new p.b.). 75.6% in 2025 have beat two minutes. I've hung 127 times this year with a 2:03 average time. Video is 8x speed.

Today's 50th anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance made it into my German page-a-day wisenheimer calendar.
Quote from Hoffa as the quote of the day: "I do to others as they do to me, not worse." (My translation.)

German-English connections: "anecken" and "to egg on." These words don't mean exactly the same thing, but they are related. Etymologically, they seem closely related. English is a Germanic language. And phrasal verbs offer interesting connections.

That's it! another 100 reps in the second set, for 208 on the day. That surpasses my goal set last September, when I ratcheted up to this level of difficulty: 29½-cm offset at the feet and parallettes for fuller range of motion. I'm on track for over 10,000 push-ups, all types, for the year.

My fine "new" (2023) #bikesky is in the shop, so I unmothballed my trusty classic steed for today's ride. After a go with the tire pump, I was off like the wind. There's something exquisite about a strong and simple piece of machinery. That old bike is 39 years old! It's still a sweet ride.

I'm happy: 5 handstand push-ups once again. Tried for a sixth, but nope. Not yet! I'm also happy that my t-shirts stayed put. 😂
