Wubbo Ockels

I came across this name in one of my old notebooks. There was no indication as to why I had written it down; it stood on a page on its own. I can only imagine that I liked the sound. I thought I had got beyond being amused by foreign names; after all my name is probably amusing in some language. I also found the phrase "Wilderness Taxidermy of Glendale", again appropos of nothing (Who used "Appropos of Nothing" in a song?). The old notebooks contain long poems in handwriting I cannot read, though sometimes a familiar phrase I might have used in a final version appears. They also contain these un-linked phrases which I obviously wrote down because I liked the sound of them.
