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. And in fact, I just returned the other night from another business trip that I really [...] May 25th, 2009
MK, the Brownman, and I deked into the Zürich Apple Store opening on Friday, enjoying the high energy and the free t-shirt. There’s a bit about the store on ifoAppleStore and TUAW. May 17th, 2009

On Saturday night Mr. Orovan, Mr. Scott, and myself visited Munich’s Frühlingsfest (spring festival). The festival is “family friendly” and had a large number of rides, skill games, food stands, and other ways to spend your money. It also had a couple of beer halls/tents. I was actually quite surprised to see all of [...] March 26th, 2009
Thursday, March 26, 2009. It’s approximately 9 p.m. Less than one hour ago I was still at work. I’m hardcore like that. The weather has been terrible all week. I think it has constantly rained. I am lucky I live on the first floor (second floor to you on the other side of the [...] March 19th, 2009
“’cause when the feeling is right I’m gonna run all night.” – Bryan Adams The song reminds me of the great Trying Is Hard comic Just. I ran another 7 km today, bringing my 1 week total to 53 km! Amazing. I’ll take a break tomorrow, run a bit on Saturday, and then go [...] |
