Changes.
A few things have changed in my life recently, I've started a new job last week and decided to give up smoking at the same time so it feels right that I ought to make some changes in my future blog postings.
DI issues started my need for blogging, I needed a place to voice my questions and concerns and I was hopeful that a meaningful dialogue could take place between people who shared different views. In hindsight, I was perhaps asking for too much too soon.
I've therefore decided to turn the page and start a new chapter. My blog will no longer be a platform for debating the ethics of DI. My blog will be for me and those who enjoy reading it.
It will be about a little bit of everything that touches my life including DI. It is easy to get obscessed with the issues regarding DI and to start feeling depressed. Sometimes the best way to combat such feelings is to have a good laugh. It's important to keep your sense of humour in the worse of situations so while you will still read about DI on occasions on my blog, I will take on a lighter approach to the subject.
My wife sometimes tells me that I have a weird sense of humour, so I grant you that I may very well offend some of you from time to time which of course is a shame but won't stop me from sleeping at night.
The fact that I might make fun of some serious issues will not be out of disrespect but because it helps me deal with them and since this blog is mine, I do not feel a need to apologise . There are other blogs out there who will keep on having a far more serious approach and doing a pretty good job of it, feel free to visit them.
In the future if I need to share deeper thought about DI, I will do so with people who understand my feelings and who do not judge me. Such a group of people can be found on the di_dads Yahoo group.
I have also decided to stop moderating my comments, this will give you the satisfaction of reading your own comment just after having posted it !
One word of warning though is that any hateful or otherwise aggressive comment will be deleted.

Ich liebe dich...
That's the only thing I have retained from studying German at school for about 2-3 years. I went to Germany once as a kid with my family. We stayed for a few days with a German colleague of my father, have no idea which city thought.
My only memory about those German people is that they sure knew how to have breakfast ! It was a full on feast with lost of pastries and breads ..my dream breakfast anyday !
I remember the guy explaining to me his philosophy.
He said: " In the morning you should eat like a king, at lunch eat like a prince and for dinner eat like a pauper. "
It obviously had to be translated by my father, since my German sucks, so maybe he didn't say that at all . Maybe he said "Ich bin ein Berliner"for all I know !
but whatever he said once translated sounded like good advice to me. Advice which I didn't go on following in my adult life..
