Laundry This Week
I did laundry again this week. It's nice to have clean clothes. This is my last laundry day in Berlin. I'll miss lugging a big duffel bag of clothes up and down four flights of stairs every week. I'll miss the control board at the laundry where you put in the money, and press the buttons that correspond to your washing machine or dryer. I'll miss the bill changer that keeps spitting my bill back to me, and the two hours and 13 Euro that it took each week to do it. Those were good times at the Ecowash Waschsalon. I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said "You never run out of things that can go wrong". I think that is very true, but what does it mean? Maybe it means that you should be careful...or maybe it means that since there is a neverending supply of things that can go wrong, you should just do whatever it is that you want to do...or maybe there was something on the back of the shirt that I didn't see that would wrap the message up nicely, I don't know. What I do know is that this fortune cookie-like message contains a lot of wisdom, for those who can solve its riddle.

Joe - this blog has been great to read, especially because of entries like this one. I hope you continue blogging even when you return to Atl.
Like his shirt says...we can never run of potential meanings.
Also, like farfel, I hope I get to hear about your laundry escapades in Atlanta.
Just don't accidentally let a lipstick sneak into the dryer if you try to help Michelle with her laundry too. She really hates "lipstick tie dye."
