"A fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke." — Søren Kierkegaard
My ancestors are from Germany. The first, C.F. Kroeger moved here to Nebraska around 135 years ago where he started a shoe store and a church (people asked a pastor to talk in his basement then). I went to a Lutheran school in the northern part of America, and I've lived in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
