Dear friends, family, followers and fans:
I’m going to do something here that I’ve never done before.
I’m asking for help.

Throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. -Mark Twain
Welcome to Berlin!
When I got to the airport, all the anxiety about this trip I’d been feeling over the previous few days melted away. I finally felt excited and ready to go–as ready as you can ever be for a trip of this caliber.
