Yokohama Stadium Lights
I’m winging my way south tonight – leaving the northern hemisphere, heading toward parts I’ve never visited before. I have been south before: South Africa and Swaziland – but I am very much biased toward the northern hemisphere in my travels.
While in Japan I attended three baseball games – on […]
So… I might be the last to inform you, but Germany won the World Cup just over a week ago.
To nobody’s surprise, I was part of distinct minority in Germany: the 14% that did not watch the final match. But hey: the game started at 9pm and I wanted to go to work at […]
Welcome to Mazda Zoom Zoom Stadium, 3rd base side, 14th section, row 30, seat L231.
I will readily admit that the reason for my Japanese vacation is completely and utterly insane.
I went to Japan to watch the Hiroshima Toyo Carp play baseball.
At some point it occurred to me that I haven’t been […]
If I cared about football, then I’d be upset…
In the last eight years, since I last attended a professional football match here in Germany, my love for the beautiful game has not really increased.
I’ve come to dread the World Cup and the Euro football tournament. It’s the only time that the large masses […]
What an awesome logo: the Berlin Bear, throwing a boot!
Saturday took me on an adventure to northern Berlin – Tegel – in order to attend the closing day of the Boot Throwing World Championships 2013 and World Cup 4.
Lest you think that I am making this kind of bullshit up, I’m not. […]
Yesterday evening, while I was busy working on a project, two friends let me know that an NBA player had come out as gay.
Jason Collins, a 34-year-old, free agent, basketball player took the leap out of the closet in the pages of Sports Illustrated.
It’s cool and I would have let it float past […]
The Safety Check, prior to the second period.
A few years ago I saw Whip It, and I enjoyed it – ever since then I’ve been interested in seeing an actual Roller Derby contest.
Unfortunately it can be challenging to see a match as the games are somewhat irregularly and infrequently scheduled. Furthermore the […]
This advertising campaign wouldn’t fly in the United States, but this advertisement is for the Munich Cowboys, an American Football team, and it’s made me want to go to an American football game.

One swing, four runs, grand slam.
One thing that I do now, more than I did in the past, is think about the messages that what t-shirts I wear, say. Consequently, I’m buying fewer random t-shirts and wishing I had more of some messages.
For example, at the gym I wear duds for the Wyoming Cowboys (I wish I had more) […]

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free! The username is elmadaeu on the gmail.com service.
