Mackenzie's US passport and birth certificate arrived today. Only one week for processing...talk about shocking! Unfortunately, they have the wrong date of birth on them...so we have to reboot and start again. I think it may actually have been my mistake because I...
Care packages of tastiness
Stefan had the pleasure of visiting the customs office today. Somehow he managed to get the customs agent to have mercy on him and he let him leave without paying anything. Stefan was doing his best to play dumb - it apparently worked. One of the magical packages that...
COLD heading our way!!!
All those in Germany or the vicinity, hope you've got all your warm clothes ready cause it's about to get frigid here! An Arctic blast is moving in our direction, supposed to be coming in today and tomorrow...and it's bringing SNOW! We rarely get snow in this area so...
Walking through the past – HessenPark
Having guests in town is always a good reason to drag everyone out of the house on a sunny day and go do something incredibly touristy. We thought about making them do some work around here...but the weather was just too nice so we bundled ourselves up a bit (it was...
One newspaper we’ll never read again
Wow. Now that was interesting. I'm sitting here on the couch. It's 7:45 pm and the phone rings. A woman from the Hanauer Anzeiger, a local newspaper in a neighboring city, is on the phone and wants to know how we enjoyed our free two-week subscription to the newspaper...
Don’t miss this chance to express your voice
"I've never seen you so excited about a piece of goverment mail before." Surprisingly enough, I really was quite excited when my absentee ballot arrived yesterday in the mail. For one, this is the first time in the 7 years that we've lived in Germany that I actually...
Why would they do that to these people?
We used to pay for satellite TV. And then we realized it really sucked. For about a year we actually had no TV at all...and it was fantastic. Of course for something like the Olympics we'd still consider hooking up the TV but the daily stuff is just bad. There are a...
What’s wrong with using real words?
I find myself reading tons of emails and messages every day because, well, I'm a geek and I work on the Internet and my PC all day. People ask if I get sick of being alone most of the day, but most days I'm actually kinda thankful to not have to interact with anyone....
The Soundtrack of My Life
I have come to believe that I function infinitely better when I have music playing, regardless of what I'm doing. Sometimes I will just turn on the radio and listen to whatever comes on...but since the radio stations here are increasingly lame and geared only towards...
On the road again…to Italy
Hi everydog!!Hope you're having some really nice weather where you are. It's in the upper 70's here in Germany which the humans find to be quite pleasant...but without A/C I have to say it's a bit warm. At least the mornings are still nice and cool, though. And we get...
