Watch & listen as my friend, former editor of LIFE magazine, confesses his younger self’s adventurous spirit when he & his best friend Fred hitchhiked (a lot) around East Germany, when it was behind the wall. They knew they needed to leave the area but had no idea where they wanted to go. So Fred, who spoke some German, made a sign with the word Irgenwo! It translates to Anywhere! in English.

Bill keeps this sign to remind hime of a time in his life where it really was all about the journey. It didn’t matter where they went or when they got there. A feeling and openness of simply going ANYWHERE. Now that his kids our “out of the house” and his parenting obligations are “behind” him, Bill feels like he’s ready to return to Irgendwo.

This short story was clipped from my live virtual Show & Tale: Significant Objects in the fall of 2021.
