When I bought my new bike I told myself that I wouldn’t need to ride it to work because I’ve already got a hybrid bicycle that I bought nearly a decade ago. But this bike hasn’t seen any action in a couple of years, and even when it did it was neglected from a [...] February 9th, 2010
Another quick update, this time on my busiest day of the week. Normally on Tuesdays I play squash with Kate. She’s busy and had to cancel so I played with Evan. It turned out to be the best game of squash I’ve played all year. The intensity was unmatched, and the speed of [...] November 15th, 2009
I am faced with a difficult challenge: a year in 100 photographs. Before I left Ms. Kirkey was kind enough to prepare for me a photo album with a collection of photos of friends and family. I kept this photo album on my coffee table the entire time I was in Germany. It was [...] October 25th, 2009
I have total squash arm this evening. Yesterday I picked up a new squash racquet in anticipation of playing a game with Adam J. this morning. I went with the Flexpoint 130 from Head. I have now played only one game with it, and it seems satisfactory. I didn’t think about the racquet [...] September 24th, 2009

After I returned from Madrid my manager here in Germany made a comment to me along the lines of “that distance is like a day trip to a Canadian”. Yes, he was exaggerating the truth a little bit but the premise of his point is correct: North Americans are more accustomed to travelling long [...] July 22nd, 2009
A trying week of highs and lows, cultural understanding, pain, destruction, and triumph: the Alpencross was a great success. Eight brave people began a quest from Oberstdorf Germany to Lago di Garda over seven days. Though we only arrived seven in numbers our early departure was expected and we successfully delivered all willing [...] |
