Somehow I’m still not jaded…

A few years ago I was in Washington DC, walking down the street, playing the part of tourist, when I came upon some locals – people playing football in the park, jogging down the streets, carrying groceries home.

I was envious – these were people who get to live every day in a fabulous city […]

Getting back into the swing of things…

Right after I got better, I sort of got slammed with work and I spent the weekend working on a very interesting project, which is prompting a field trip this upcoming weekend to yet another Berlin historic site.

The work has kept me busy—while working over the weekend I took a little bit of time […]

Sorry Berlin, Saturday is my fault.

Despite being in that post-cold stage where I feel slightly out of it at times, I’ve noticed that this past week the weather has been absolutely, positively, wonderful.

There is no doubt about it, people are out and about, and wearing less—it’s not quite shorts weather, but people are venturing out wearing t-shirts and lightweight […]

I’ve gone from ranting about working out to ranting about work.

Sorry.

I’ve been drowning in work for the last two months—but I am happy to report that I have made significant headway on my work queue. I’ve gone from having ten items on it to four—and am feeling a lot less stressed. Of the four items on the queue, one is half done and the […]

This weekend went as planned months ago. Sort of.

A long, long time ago, when I first looked at the March calendar, I knew that this weekend needed to be a weekend alone – a respite from roughly two months of travel and guests.

It was sometime in November when I realized that the period between January 17 and March 17 were going to […]

Yeah, everybody must be sick at the office.

I’m not really hugely sick today, but I decided to stay home and work from home.

I never actually worked – I slept all day after sending three emails cancelling my three meetings – only to receive two emails telling me that had I not cancelled first, they would have cancelled because they had health […]

Since I last blogged…

I’m sad to report that MT has left the house, country, and continent.

Her visit was busy—for both of us. I’ve managed to get a lot of work done, yet have time to hang with her. Last time I had nine items in my work queue. I now have eight items in the queue, with […]

Having a busy week!

I’ve had a pretty busy week – MT showed up Tuesday afternoon. I spent the morning before her arrival going to the gym and getting my hair cut—so I’m looking buff (ha!) for her.

Wednesday we went south to Leipzig—she wanted to see the Stasi museum in Leipzig and I was more than willing to […]

Viva Las Vegas!

I’d tell you about what I did in Las Vegas, but… as the Las Vegas tag line goes, “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.”

So I have nothing else to say.

Ha.

Not really, but let me be clear: Las Vegas’ initial impression, as I found at the airport, is not inviting. From Slot […]
