I have a confession for the world: I am concerned about my Alpencross readiness. I knew that going on vacation would set me back some, and it has, but I’m not sure that is all that I can blame. We’re talking about six consecutive days of intense bicycling, and trekking, carrying everything I need [...] June 1st, 2009
A couple of months ago I wrote to you about my reaching the mid-point of my year here in Germany; now, I have but four months left. Time is going by rather quickly. The past two months have been incredible. I have been blessed with visits from some of my dearest friends. First, I [...] June 1st, 2009
I am currently feeling the sting of the post-vacation credit card bill. Aside from cash-advances in four different currencies in the past two months, in the past one month I have spent a lot of money on petrol.

Dear Internet: I need your advise. Nine Inch Nails is touring Europe this summer and it the so-called “final tour”; at the very least, it should be the last tour NIN will do for a while. So I would like to see them. Luckily, Europe is relatively small so I have a few options. [...] May 7th, 2009
I don’t really consider myself to be a sporty guy, but I will say that when I do sport I prefer to be properly equipped. This morning I bicycled to work and it was fairly chilly out–about 8 degrees. I know that it is supposed to go up to 23 degrees today so I [...] |
