I'm pleasantly surprised that you guys
even noticed I didn't do it.
Every year when I get back from Europe
I usually have you guys pick out the picture I display on my work
computer desktop for the next year. Over the years you've picked
some amazing photos that I've been able to look at for 12 months, but
this year I decided not to do it. Why, you ask? Well, I answer, for
a couple of reasons. One, it's only been eight months since I put up
the latest picture, and two, because I have a toy cow that matches
it.
Seriously—for Christmas, my parents
(jokingly) gave me a toy cow that looks almost exactly like the
current desktop picture I have. Don't believe me?
And because of both those reasons, I
didn't want to change my desktop picture after this trip.
However, because several of you
e-mailed me and wondered if I was going to put pictures up to a vote,
I tell you what. Here are six pictures. I have a notebook computer
that I take to Europe to write blogs and the like, a computer that I
also use throughout the year for other things where I need a small
machine. The picture that you choose will go on that machine, and
while I won't see it as often as I would every day at work, it'll
still be gazed upon on occasion.
Sound cool? Good. I hoped you'd think
so.
So without further ado, here are this
year's six possibilities--
Tiergarten Park in Berlin--
Flowers at the market in Leipzig--
The very historic Augustusplatz in Leipzig, with the
University of Leipzig in the background--
Loraine in her happy place, Red Bull
Arena--
The Leipzig skyline, taken from
Johannapark--
And two of my favorite things in the
world—lilacs and an Ampelmann--
Feel free to pick which one you think
should go on my notebook computer's desktop for the foreseeable
future. Just e-mail me your choice by, say, Sunday night at 1159.
That way, I can announce the winner in Monday's blog. Thanks for
voting. And heck, thanks for wondering why I didn't do it this year
in the first place!
