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...
A rant about customs offices
I realized that there is a risk of the customs agency here in Germany finding out who I am after I write this...and then I will never be able to pick up another package at customs without having to jump through many more hoops than usual - but those people just make...

Wanna swap houses?
I'm not sure I would be totally comfortable with this myself but it is an interesting concept. Geenee is a website for home-owners who are interested to trade houses for a few days, weeks or longer with someone else so that they can experience a more local feeling in...
Our lantern festival – Sunday night
Because of our housewarming party, we didn't get to attend the festival on Saturday night. Some of our guests did go down to see the parade pass through though, which actually lasted about 2 hours and featured 25 organizations and 7 marching bands. The all came back...
That’s a lot of chili
With just over a week to go to our housewarming party, I am now in full speed ahead mode to get things accomplished around here. This morning I replanted our fig tree so that it has some space to grow finally and will retain a bit of water. I've moved it into the...
