This is my Grandfather Alexander. Now living on the beautiful island of Tenerife to enjoy retirement, he used to be a journalist for Spiegel and Capital back in the days and probably is one of the wisest and funniest persons I know. If there's any talent in my blood for writing, I got it from him and I might also have inherited a little bit of my dirty humor from this great gaffer. Sadly, we see each other way under. A fact that I am planning to improve by visiting him and his wonderful wife this spring. Anyway, he writes me tales, stories and recipies (you should try his famous pepper steak!) by email on a regular basis and is indeed one of my kindest advisors these days.

Please note his fabulous suspenders by 90's artist James Rizzi!

Jenny is my older sister who just gave me a visit in Berlin last weekend.
She lives in Zürich and will rescue the world from there. I promise.

Stina and I met looking for appartments four years ago. She's lovely,
hysterical and takes hours to pee. We fought university through and
used short term absences to intensify. Hamburg, Oslo and Munich
gave us a sence of being apart, but this time - sadly - she left for
good. This makes me realize: Times do change. It was great, though.

Jasmin and I met working as telephone co-operators for a big softdrink-company last year. She had a hard time in life and told me about it. But now, she feels better.
