The call of home knows no limits of time or distance

My two daughters went to college in the USA, one stayed on there, one got a high-paying job here in Germany and came back. She lives in the Frankfurt/Main area nowhere near Bavaria. Still, come Oktoberfest time, no more of this Manhattan/Frankfurt urban professional façade: O Zapft is!

New York City to München and back in 4 days!! My two nutty daughters, but they earn their own living and know what they want. And we want for them whatever they want.

So it's all good.

And yes, they got a good dosage of my wife's genes, so they are easy on the eye as well

I'll let the two of you sort it out. My wife is nearsighted. By the time she got a good look at me, it was too late

In my experience, women like her were always too stuck up to take a glance at the likes of me--unless their sight was too poor to realize how beautiful they are themselves. How do you think I lucked out with a woman like her anyhow?

She obviously saw what really matters: your soul and your intelligence.

End of Argument, lol!

Each as good looking as the other....
So is Oktoberfest in September in Germany? It is in my little So Az town. (Scratches head?)

Maybe my wife knows, or Wikipedia, but she's already in bed, and I'm on my way (have to get up for Sprout City in 5 hours). Maybe it's to greet the coming of October, who knows?

Like I told Peggy (and she knows it's true, no matter how much she wants to keep me from feeling bad), they got a huge dose of my wife's genes, and everybody's very glad they did.
