I’m feelin’ a bit disenfranchised…

Anybody living in or visiting Berlin right now would surely know that today Berlin is holding an election.

The campaign season seems horribly long, but, in truth, it’s confined to a relatively short span. I believe I remember the first campaign posters going up in late July or early August. In this sense, the German […]

Thursday Evening… United Buddy Bears

Some jerk got in front of the camera. Sorry.

Paw Sox Grand Slam, September 3, 2011

One swing, four runs, grand slam.

Briefly thinking about 9/11

It’s been 10 years since the awful events of September 11th, 2001.

I’ve pondered the event quite a bit over the last week – the news is pushed on me by mass media – and I’ve come to the conclusion that 9/11 changed the United States and the world that I know in only stupid […]

Berlin Firefighter Challenge 2011

Here to save the day.

Today, by chance, I stumbled upon the Berlin Firefighter Challenge at Potsdammer Platz. I was actually on my way home after doing a little bit of shopping (I bought a new Crumpler bag), riding the bus when I saw the activity and decided to get off the bus.

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in a nutshell.

Greenwich Cove

Yes, I fully intend on saying everything there is to say about Rhode Island in one lousy blog post.

Just kidding.

I spent three nights in Rhode Island and it’d be impossible for me to tell you everything that I did – honestly, there’s a lot more to Rhode Island than I […]

I’m really happy with Continental Airlines (or United, if you must)

I’m back in Berlin – safe, sound, and impressed after flying Continental Airlines (being pedantic) (or United Airlines, if going by branding) for six segments. In fact, I was so impressed with the service on my flight from Newark to Indianapolis that I wrote a letter complimenting the flight attendant.

Now I’m considering writing a […]

I went to WYOMING!!!!!!

The Wyoming Fruit & Veg Co. — with fireworks. Authentically Wyoming, for those in the know!

Wyoming Fishing Area – Hunting & Fishing is authentic Wyoming recreation!

Of course, this Wyoming is a city (or village) in Rhode Island.

I’ve now been to all 48 contiguous United States.

The last 5 before number 48… the Northeast

I can’t believe it, I’ve covered a lot of territory and done no justice to any of the places I’ve been. Seriously.

But to round out the last five states before I get to Rhode Island, which will be number 48, here I go again.

Starting with Maine: I visited Maine with my Father. He […]

There’s a girl missing from Bloomington…

Anybody in Bloomington for more than about 5 or 10 minutes will immediately figure out that somebody named Lauren is missing, thanks to the posting of 10,000 fliers on everything from empty store fronts, random lamp posts, and everything else you could imagine.

She’s been missing since June 3, 2011, and her family is seeking […]
