Tuesday at 6pm, German Time, the long Bush nightmare will be over. I’ll be at a party with my colleagues, celebrating. In the meantime, back in December when I was in Bristol, I saw a thought provoking question.

…Innit?
In the last few weeks, since my last trip to the UK, my media diet has changed slightly. It’s become more British. Obviously I’m coloured by my investment in fantastic British television shows on DVD, but also by my listening to Guardian podcasts. My main new addition is the 30 minute Guardian Daily, a newscast [...]
Atheist Commotion
Apparently it’s bad not to believe in God. Maybe that’s not bad, but telling other people it’s ok to not believe in God is problematic. I first realized this back in November when I read about a piece about a billboard in Denver that read, “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone.” Eight simple [...]
Dinner for One
This is a traditional German favorite over the next week. I happened to see a German remake of it tonight…
Brilliant Bristol
I realize that Christmas is almost upon us, and it might seem odd to be blogging about my travels whilst everybody is at home with family, but the fact remains that I popped over to Britain as the surprise guest at a party (and it worked), and that I chose to extend my stay in [...]
Surprised!
I tried to delay my appearance at my friend’s going-away happy hour until I was sure that other people would be there—the announced start time was 7pm, and I held back until about 7:20.

Where I am.
So my surprise December trip is to Cheltenham, England. I’m visiting Cheltenham because a friend is quitting her job in order to raise kids and work with her husband’s firm. My appearance at her going away party this evening is a surprise—and the reason my suitcase was stuffed coming here was because I’ve brought her [...]
Photo Update
When I work at the Weimar Office, I usually last about three to four hours before I need to get up and go. Today I lasted only 2.5 hours because I was examining page proofs. The page proofs are in really good shape and I am pleased with the quality, but it’s a very intense [...]
Naked Façade
A funny thing happened on the way to this blog entry yesterday: I reviewed Burger Burger. I know why I planned on mentioning Burger Burger—it was the starting point for something else. That something else is the nature of other people. I’d declined sitting at one of the two table that were exposed in the [...]
Spicy Sanchez
Back in Cheltenham, Sunday evening I had no plans, so I went to an area filled with some casual upscale restaurants called The Brewery. The Brewery is essentially an attempt to have an upscale dining, fitness, and movie complex, with a couple of stores thrown in for good measure. Judging by the store fronts still [...]
