I’ve overscheduled myself this past week with something going on every day after work – whether going to the gym (Tuesday and Thursday) or hosting a friend overnight Friday evening. I’ve now even hired a maid, who came for the first time Wednesday. I’ve also had other things going on in my free-time.
This, in […]
Two weeks ago I went to Preview Berlin, an art fair held during Berlin Art Week.
These were two of my favorite — the top is by Patricia Waller, entitled, “Broken Heroes”. The bottom piece is Benedictions, 2012, by Lutz Wagner.

Snooker in Berlin pointed out that today was a fantastic day to see classic automobiles here in Berlin: The Hamburg-Berlin-Klassic, a three day road rally, reached its finish line in Berlin around 3pm.
She and I were there waiting for the first of some 185 automobiles to cross the […]
My version of this sofa will come in a slightly lighter grey fabric and with burgundy red pillows. It is a sofa bed, where the front slides forward a bit and the back flips next to it, thus making a fairly large mattress — although clearly the front part, where the arms […]

One of the stops I made while visiting New York City in February was the National September 11 Memorial. I didn’t say anything about it then, but given that today is 9/11, it seems appropriate to bring it up.
Honestly, it was very well done – capturing, somehow, an […]

Sheldon Cooper, PhD would be proud of me today – today was a train day.
I’m continuing to have a fantastic vacation, although I cut today’s beach adventure short because I’m going to have dinner with a friend tonight and I didn’t want to get trapped at the beach fighting impossible traffic.

No, it’s not my birthday, but it is an important day for me: My mom was 14,095 days old when she gave birth to me.
Practically speaking, it means that I am, today, exactly half of my Mother’s age.
This weekend I’m in Portugal, specifically Costa da Caparica – a smallish resort city just south […]
This week I’ve accomplished a lot of things on my personal to-do list, including tackling a mountain of paperwork. I’d put off some of it – partially due to a linguistic barrier, partially due to intimidation.
On that front, I’ve reached that point in my life where I take retirement planning really seriously, and I’ve […]
