The lot is marked as 1995. Probably bought still in zurich to lubricate some army stuff. It was standing in all my houses and there is still some left. It is a childhood memory to use it. Its smell reminds me of kilchberg, wet dogs on a hunting day in the alsace with my father. Today i used it to lubricate our frontgate.

thats why I was born

Yes My brother and I where born on a rainy day. However my mother, being a cook, was stil working in the restaurant. The restaurant was my grandfathers and mainly served lunch to the working class of the industrial quarters of Zurich. SInce "Das Parfüm" os Patrick Süsskind we do know, that being born in special conditions leaves marks. Since we where for a long time kept in a salad bowl and decorated with cranberries to avoid flies I developed a deep aversion to cranberries and rarely ever eat salad. I, however, had made a salad bowl for myself once an adult which lifes in my garden house and where I retreat sometimes to meditate. p

sabado

estou lendo a minha querida WELTWOCHE que foi fundada por um tio meu em 1933 a, ao contrário de muitas até hoje não faliu. Este mes ela fez 75 anos e a edição traz muitas reportagens sobre a história, as pessoas que passaram por ela e muito mais. Nada que interesse aqui no Brasil. hehe Na terça tocarei no SESC com a trupe chá de boldo. Que emoção. Vamos tocar na choperia do SESC Pompéia. 

what I'm reading

I got the book "The black Swan" from my mother recently after a journalist in the Weltwoche has written an article in the WELTWOCHE about the books author Nassim Nicholas Taleb see his site here. 

Basically his theory goes that we are behaving like christmas-goose that get fed during two years. Every day somebody nice comes, gives you good food and shelter. So you make an economic model and say: "hey..in the average every day I get food and feel fine". 

Until.....the 24 of Dezember....

I love the idea. After the recent crash and all the mis-management in the Banking industry his book became quite a bestseller. 

Taleb is Christian Lebanese World citizen and his book is quite entertaining with a mix of history, matematics, statistics real world examples. 

On youtube you have a lot of interviews with him.

The other day

At the show of Duofel in moema. They play beatles

The other day

At Sonny Rollins  show at the Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo. Under intense heat and Sun we watched to grandmaster of Jazz swing along. 

With his white beard he looks really cool. Played like hell. Ended his show with a Blues that left everybody standing. 

Afterwards we went home and cooked pasta. It is a nice wonderful summer evening here in São Paulo.
