BAMBIs

My friend Robin is back in town for a very quick visit. Got to have dinner with her tonight. Fun and sad at the same time. Forgot how much I missed having her here! We had dinner with another friend who will be leaving at the end of December. Too many comings and goings in this ex-pat world.

Got home just in time to see Bon Jovi on the Bambi Awards (www.bambi.de) which are being held right here in Duesseldorf this year. The Bambis are the German "best of" awards. They go to everyone from athletes and muscians to philantropists and activists to models and actors. There's no surprises. Award winners know ahead of time they are going to win. Bon Jovi receive the Bambi for international music. I can't believe I didn't run into Jon Bon Jovi in Duesseldorf today. Tom Cruise apparently won the "courage" award for his willingness to take risks in film make. Not really getting that one. Queen Ranier is also receiving a Bambi. That one mkes a little more sense.

Christmas markets are up and running, and we're hoping to hit a couple this weekend if the weather is decent. It will be cold. We just need it to be dry!
