Germadadian Pride

With their loss to Paraguay (after a valiant battle) Trinidad & Tobago have dropped out of the World Cup race. I have mourned that loss. Now I'm on the Germany train...

Wait, why?? Why Germany?? Here's the backstory:
My mother is from Trinidad (moved to Toronto when she was 18, I think) and my father was born in Germany (also moved to Toronto, age 11). I was born in Toronto, but my heritage makes me a Germadadian. Obviously.
My brother, too, is a Germadadian. And aside from that, I figure there are precious few of us on the planet. I've decided that, in an effort to preserve the race (and foster cultural pride) I will establish a website exclusively for fellow Germadadians where we may share stories, family trees and recipes. Look for www.germadadian.com in the near future!

Until then, go Germany! We trounced the Swedes 2-0 today and are on the road to a World Cup victory in the Fatherland!
