Awesome Airport Art The flight from London to Detroit was, as the pilot promised, 30 minutes from take off to touch down—and with it, my journey home began. The funniest moment of the day, for me, was my trip through security at the London Airport. The polite and nice security guard appreciated the fact […] Gosh, I feel a lot like Edward R. Murrow, looking out above London. Yes, I am in London—I’ve checked into the Hilton, wandered through town, ate a late lunch at Covent Gardens, and wandered along the Thames River. Yes, London, Ontario, has Covent Gardens and the Thames. Positively Brilliant, if you ask me. Covent […] Red's better than blue, right? So while I could have spent the weekend with Mits, instead I spent it with Mike. I probably can’t get away without explaining that comment—but suffice it to say that a cute guy introduced himself and because of my mindset about something I was more than obtuse for a […] The Tour Starts Here!

Getting stuck behind a dimwitted girl who had a cigarette lighter shaped like a bullet at security (She wasn’t surprised when it was taken away). Not finding […] More Modern than Ameritech's best. After growing up and living in the (American) West, I’d come to understand one solid fact about US West, the local telephone company: It was the most evil, awful, horrible, and despicable company on the face of the planet. And then in 1998 I moved to Indiana. Even before […] I seem to have completely tuned out the Thuringen gay scene; My apologies for those who are depending upon me for the latest updates but I haven’t been paying any attention or checking the few websites that exist for updates. Needless to say it was a surprise when I saw a flier over the weekend […] Unlike the United States where the only organization legally allowed to put stuff in your mail box is the United States Postal Service, here in Germany there are multiple postal services and your letter box is constantly being filled with “Werbung”—which translates as advertising, courting, publicity, promotion, or propaganda.
