my ticket!
Wednesday night I finally saw a comedian that I’ve wanted to see for years: Pam Ann.
Given how much I love travel, in particular, flying, let me just say that Pam Ann is a comedian right up my alley. She does comedy that is based on the airline industry, poking fun […]
The Couchtisch, delivered.
After ordering my new couch, it suddenly dawned on me that I would finally have enough space in my apartment to have a coffee table – and so I started the quest to find the perfect coffee table.
I discounted Ikea almost immediately – I have enough Ikea furniture in my […]
Ah… if I were stateside today, I would be eating turkey.
But I’m not. I’m in Berlin.
And I’m sick.
It actually makes me doubly happy that both of m tentative thanksgiving plans fell through since I would have had to cancel anyway.

By coincidence I had a meeting with my personal trainer – and we discussed my progress over the last two years.
And as I look back […]
Thanks to a vacation policy that I don’t quite understand, back at the end of September I was granted an extra day off this year, which I immediately applied toward taking today off.
As the election progressed, I came to realize that I would either be very happy or very depressed today, and in either […]
Before.
I’m annoyed.

Unfortunately, the fine folks at the Mulipolster […]
