My best guess is that I was started sometime during the Cuba crisis when my parents were on their honeymoon and never heard a thing about it all until it was all over. I was born on the following Swiss National Holiday in 1963 in the shadow of the Gizeh pyramids (my father being "our man in Cairo" for the Bayer Company at that time). I have been strongly addicted to reading since I was 8 or so (addicted to having stories read to me long before that). In 1977 my family finally settled in Germany. I had my first tentative contact with the internet exactly 20 years later when I visited the same website over and over again for one month, never daring to try something else. And around the same time the best of all boyfriends put an end to my life as confirmed and hopeless single. Since February 02 we also live under the same roof, finally getting married in January 25, and since January 03 I am Admin(istrator) of this blog thanks to Regina.
