Folgerichtig is a German adjective and translates to consequential, logically consistent. During the time Kugelfisch and I met and fell in love with each other we talked a lot about the meaningfulness, significance, sense of purpose of all what we are doing (Sinnhaftigkeit). I at the time was done with my marriage and needed a split and Kugelfisch also coming from a long relationship formed a sort of unwritten agreement to be logical consistent and meaningful in our actions supporting each others dreams and goals while establishing another family tree branch. The initial Folgerichtig blog started that way in trying to express emotions while getting divorced and trying to keep my father role established. Living the majority of my life in Berlin we decided to move to the USA starting in Virginia Beach and growing as a family. The journey then brought us to Ojai the place we now live and encountered the CoVid pandemic. The time were everyone and everything somehow went thru a reset. I stopped my photography and blog writing as we all maneuvered threw the new normal. With Folgerichtig 2.0 I want to revamp my creative side.
So where are we now in life? Ojai is beautiful and full of opportunities.
Kugelfisch has been a Soccer Coach for our kids QI, IQ and FS and still coaches FS. She moved up the ranks to Coach Admin at AYSO 147 and learned a lot about the diversity of parents and eager coaches. Momentarily she tries to establish the possibility of a home grown Ojai Soccer Club Team which is not easy as AYSO currently does not have a program for that. On the other side IQ has had the opportunity to join a Club team driven by a team mates father who saw the boys playing and wanted to support their need to play more competitive, more to that later in IQ section of this blog. Lets hope for the Ojai youth that she will succeed as we all see what good it does to the community and then hopefully in the High School programs.
QI has a finally graduated from high school and is now visiting Ventura College and pursuing his artistic side of things in graphics and photography. He has girlfriend for while now and therefore we only see him when he chooses to see us for ...
IQ is a vivid athlete. Successful in Track&Field sprinting and jumping, Football receiver, kicker, safety and Soccer (real football) as a striker or Winger. IQ joined the Ojai United club team 3 years ago as the youngest and this weekend they won the U19 Las Vegas International Showcase Tournament. To note IQ just turned 16 and he has shown the defense whose turf it actually is. Regardless if they are double in size, weight it does not matter.
FS will finish Elementary School this summer and move to Middle School. FS plays also soccer and made the All-Stars 3 times in a row. A fast girl but sometimes lazy to charge in fear to hurt the other. Well, her brother went thru the same at one point.
I still work for the same vice company and had just recently two projects which were very successful and also brought me back into traveling to China and Vietnam. As I have known China for a while now I was eager to learn more about Vietnam and I must say I like Vietnam a lot.
All in all everything is good and the kids are doing their thing to make something out of themselves. We all had to learn and adapt to the new Post-CoVid reality and its bi-polar political landscape. We all are making the best out of life as time passes by.
