Friday was a pretty busy day. I woke up at some obscene hour-5:30, as I recall, and checked email and other mundane stuff before I headed over to the train station. I needed to catch the 8:08 train to Weimar in order to hang out with J and finish up whatever work I needed to […] Am home. Wrote much. it’s trapped on new laptop. bed time. Adam I was really busy yesterday (phone service, administrative stuff) and didn’t get a chance to post. I’m leaving in a few minutes so I don’t have time to write anything else right now. PS- Thanks Mom for making me learn touch typing! It helps because I’ve converted this computer to US English as its standard, […] Per CNN.com: Cheney Cursed out Senator Leahy using the F-word!

I know no German, my language acquisition skills are rather poor, and I will be signing contracts […] FYI, Germany is currently +7 hours from Hoosier Standard Time. In the winter that will change to +6, except in Evansville, which of course is on Central Adjusting-Like-It-Should Time.
