Things are moving along here. Amy and Audrey move out in about a week, and Naomi gets here in less than two. In a month, I'll give the first of three philosophy presentations here. And in a little more than 2.5 months, I'll be back in New York.

Here are some special words that I'll all probably misuse in embarrassing ways before long:

• eventuell - possible


• das Gift - the poison


• prägnant - pithy
