birth

i was born in the early hours of friday, 28th of june in the year of your lord 1974 as the first and (as far as I know) only begotten son of dr. med. peter sperling and his beloved wife edith (born heßberger) in erlangen.

erlangen is a town located in northern bavaria - an area called franconia. during most the first reich the emperors came from franconia - maybe this is why i feel that royal *g*. but in our days this is no longer of any meaning for germany.

anyway, my parents decides to babtise me by the name of patric.
