It’s been a little while since I’ve posted one of these, but here comes the thoughts of the Cynical Queer on his favorite posts from my blog.
He's on the right!
For me, the travels you and I took together seem to be memorable. You always have a great way of detailing things in […]
If I’ve been vacant from blogging and the holiday season there are two good reasons.

We’re from not very exciting places in the U.S. (at least, not exciting to us). Since moving to Europe […]
As a frequent rider of public transportation, I have two complaints—call them observations—about people and mass transit.

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.
