So Pithy

Last week I saw a different Berlin. The Berlin one sees from the top of the TV tower, and from the glass dome of the Reichstag. Berlin by boat and tour bus. Not the Berlin I usually live in, a ground-level, sidewalk-heavy experience.

The Weather Channel thinks there’s another Berlin, too: the one they report weather for. Last week the weather was supposed to be relatively unpleasant, at least early in the week. Fortunately they were wrong. This week, on the other hand, has turned out much rainier than predicted. Wrong Berlin, I guess.

Christmas Berlin is pretty at night, but too cold. Autumn Berlin is very pleasant, but a ways off, for now (especially since I’ll be home before then.) When the rain lets up, springtime in Berlin is nice. Don’t get me started on summer.

The wort part of the Berlin I live in now is that there’s somebody missing. But that won’t be the case for too long.
