Once upon a time there were two sisters. The first said to the second, “Hey, you should really go to Germany if you’re going to study the language.” Eventually, the second sister decided this was a good idea. She told the first sister, “Hey, you should quit your day job and come with me. While you’re at it, you should go back to school.” And the first sister decided this was a good idea. So they traipsed off to Germany.
This blog is not about that story – it’s about what happened next.
