Play of the Day

In Berlin tonight, on our way to dinner, we made a left onto Leibnizstrausse, passed Walter Benjaminstrausse and made a right onto Kantstrausse.

Even better (though I did not wander here): Karl-Marx-Strausse intersects somewhere in this city with Hegelstrausse.

I recognize this spatial joke is selling itself to a very tiny niche market. It just happens I’m in that particular niche. Hopefully one among you, oh readers of mine, is too.*
