Ante Mortem

Life doesn't abandon dead things soon. It simply remains concealed.

Wise words

Saying to a young boy or girl: "Life is short, don't waste any time." is just fine. I wonder how many  of the students that hang this poster on the wall of their classroom will ever keep this in mind while taking those decisions that will make their future. Will they keep it as a constraint not to forget or unwillingly decide to live in regrets, as many others have done?

No way out

Gringo was here

"Let me write it twice, in case they wouldn't get it soon".

Time to go home

I don't remember having ever been on top of the Schlossberg night time. I must have seen a couple of sunset from there, may e more, but I've always watched the Uhrturm, the bell tower illuminated and standing against the dark sky from below. Eventually, yesterday I went up for a dinner with colleagues at the restaurant on top of the hill and on the way back I could enjoy a nice walk along the endless staircase that begins nearby the tower.

Walking back

As it's often said: not all ills come to harm. List Friday I treated myself with a lunch with colleagues in the nearby village of Judendorf. On the way back, all roads were jammed because of who-knows which reason. Austrian police is very scrupulous, sometime even too much. So, as I was in a hurry for a meeting, I had to leave the car at the railway station and walk downhill till reaching the river Mur and the bridge that leads to the premises of my company.
Evening time, after closing the door of my office, I realized that I had to walk all the way back to my car. Still the weather was nice and the air pleasantly warm. Upon reaching the parking lot, warmed and cheered up after these two scarce kilometers, I thought myself that I should try this move again in the coming times, until the weather conditions are fine. It could be the only chance I still have to make some physical activity. The new role I got months ago is draining all my energies.
