Today's the 21st of January! Lydia is in bed, and I'm getting ready to go, but not before I tell you that we just returned from a week in Munich, where we were Guests of Honor for the MSC (Münchner Senioren-Convent) Ball. We have an outstanding relationship with one of the Munich Corps -- Corps Bavaria -- which actually started many years ago through a personal relationship on the part of my Corpsbrother Obelix with a young man from Corps Bavaria called 'Fricke.' This has developed over time, to where there is now a regular stream of visitors back and forth between our organization, AHSC (Alt-Herren Senioren Convent) Washington DC and Corps Bavaria, and a wonderful string of friendships and acquaintances. This time, we were the guests of Daniel Esendal and his lovely fiancee, Vanessa Jordan, and were squired about by Dr. Sebastian Sigler, a wonderfully scattered intellectual currently acting in the capacity of a literary hired gun. Both had been our guests in the past. We had departed Washington Dulles on 12 January, leaving behind a cold, icy and bleak Northern Virginia, to head for the Bavarian Alps. We were indeed pleasantly surprised that the temperatures were considerably warmer there than at home. I'll continue my update tomorrow!
