When I first heard about Wednesday evening’s candlelight memorial to help remember World AIDS Day (USA), I thought I couldn’t make it. And then I thought I could. And then, yesterday, I thought, oh dear – I probably cannot make it.

One of the great things about Berlin versus Weimar is that it is a whole lot easier to convince people to visit me here in Berlin than it ever was in Weimar.
In three weeks, my next guests arrive, joining me for Christmas and New Year’s – we even, already, have a plan for New […]
I bought this little fellow sometime last winter and he goes to bed with me when it’s cold out – he keeps me warm.

While Koko was visiting, we had dinner with Snooker in Berlin (and her plus one), when I mentioned that I needed to have my bathroom door fixed.
“The hinge seems to be coming out of the wall, and consequently the bottom of the door keeps rubbing and sticking at the bottom,” I said. “I need […]
Honestly, I cannot answer my own question, but it is something that I’ve been pondering of late.
The details of both are disturbing – and I’ve been inundated with details about one from the German half of my life and details about the other from the American half of my life.
The Neo-Nazi story actually […]
Am not sure what to make of this.
