So I got to thinking: Two weeks from tonight, right about now, I’ll be about three hours from landing in Frankfurt.

Yes, I’m pumped for the reunion!

I look forward to:

- That first beer with old friends.
- That second beer with old friends.
- Beer with new friends!
- Beer with our soon-to-be-new-friends at the German army unit meeting!
- The fest parade!
- The fest, with all its sights and sounds and smells!
- More beer with old and new friends.
- Seeing the site again. (I guess we’re still allowed. <g>)
- That cute Czech waitress at the B-hof. (Steve remembers her, too.)
- Just standing there next to the fest tent, gazing up at The Hill as the sun sets. Remembering.

Anyhoo ... Almost time to get your Rimbach on, boys and girls!
