Eurovision is shit this year. Pure unmitigated shit. Wait – before you give up, hear me out. As most of you know, I’m a Eurovision fan. Perhaps not the most dedicated (I don’t pay attention to within country song selection processes, not even within Germany), but I do buy the music and listen to it [...] Temporary Invalid once appeared in photos like this. This past weekend I headed up to Hamburg in order to visit my favorite Temporary Invalid – ideal timing because he was mobile enough to get around, but not mobile enough to escape me. Given that I’d never actually been to Hamburg’s biggest small attraction, the [...] This afternoon I couldn’t get into my office – the key just would not turn. No matter how hard I tried. It was a bit inconvenient as I actually wanted to go home, but my coat was still inside the office. Not sure what to do, I popped down to the nearby administrative assistant and [...] Liberty Income Taxes – for Canada Every so often I check through my spam folder and am amazed at the offers for Viagra, free credit reports, and breast enhancement surgery, or whatever is lurking in that folder. Unless I spy a legitimate email hidden in the folder, I quickly hit the delete all button [...] View from my balcony. While there were other options in Mobile, I wanted a downtown hotel – and landed at the Hampton Inn & Suites – a wee-bit expensive for what it was, but it was directly on the parade route, and it came with balconies directly overlooking the street.

I don’t know [...] I saw this plane at Tegel Airport: If I owned airBerlin, I would make sure that anytime Klaus Wowereit were flying on my airline he’d be flying on this very airplane. Somewhere between Newark and Houston I snapped this picture of America. On Christmas Day in Mobile a tornado ran through town. [...] I’m happy to report that I’ve survived Christmas, at home, alone. Since Friday evening, I’ve watched a lot of Breaking Bad, read books, went to the gym, and took a lot of naps. I actually never left the house Saturday – temperatures in Berlin dropped below freezing and I decided that I’d rather be warm [...] This year is an “Adam—allein zu Haus” kind of Christmas. Translated in to English, that’s “Adam, alone at home”, a variation on the “Kevin—allein zu Haus” them that Americans know as “Home Alone”. My plan is to avoid shopping after Saturday until after the Christmas holidays. If I could actually swing it, I would avoid [...] The Couchtisch, delivered. After ordering my new couch, it suddenly dawned on me that I would finally have enough space in my apartment to have a coffee table – and so I started the quest to find the perfect coffee table.
