Born on the 9th of November




Karl Julius. Born on the 9th of November 3:11 AM

Yes, life changes right away. Yes, it's like discovering love for the first time all over again. Yes, Fred is a hero. Yes he's the most of everything.

I promised Rich never to tell any poop and fart stories. So I guess there will have to be another blog for that. But they did make fun of us coming home from America after all these years and having a child on the 9th of November. Which is like the big whoop date for Germans. They call it The Day Of Fate because of a all that history and shit. There's like 15 significant 9th of Novembers in German history. Ya know, Einstein got his Nobel Prize on a 9th of November. The pogroms started. The Berlin Wall came down. The first one was in 1313, when Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian defeated Friedrich the Beautiful in the Battle of Gammerlsdorf, therefore gaining power over all Dukes of Lower Bavaria. If your cared to know. But that's our privilege as parents now - to tell stories no matter if people wanna hear them or not.
