Five Senses Friday no. 7

Seeing:

* the 2008 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Harald zur Hausen, give a lecture on the links between infectious disease and cancer.  The discovery of the link between HPV and cervical cancer?  Yeah, that was him.
* lots of dear friends at a double baby shower in D.C.  We attended for a few minutes via Skype and it was almost as wonderful as actually being there!

Hearing:

* the local election results in Germany.  The excitement is building for the national election at the end of the month!

Tasting:

* blackberries.  The last berries of the season around here.
* organic potato chips.  Normally I avoid even looking at them in the grocery aisle because I can devour a bag in one sitting.  But I gave in on Wednesday.

Feeling:

* a massage to work out the kinks in my neck and shoulders.
* the smoothness of the mousepad on my new Mac Book Pro.

Smelling:

* the crispness in the air.  Yep, summer is over.

  1. Mandi – I really like your Five Senses concept. With all the blogging and Facebooking and what-nots, it’s so easy to forget about our senses and just stop noticing the world around us. I am totally with you on the potato chips, by the way. I might try to steal that idea for one of the many days when I sit down to write a blog post and draw a complete blank.

    Oh – and you get paid in Euros AND you’re a kick-ass photographer? DANG girl!
