As y’all may have noticed, I was in New Orleans and Montreal last month – a weeklong trip to French parts of North America.
Michel de Broin’s Revolutions: Climb infinitely.
At the same time, the trip had some nice moments of symmetry – things that reflected back and made the overall trip fantastic.

Hi!
Thanks for visiting my blog and website, I really do appreciate the fact that you’re taking the time to read this.
I’m an American, currently living in Berlin, Germany, which, since I am a foreigner living in a foreign land, makes me an expatriate. However, I am not […]
I neither got around to reviewing the second Eurovision semi-finals, nor to discussing the Eurovision Finals – badAdam.
I have a good excuse: I was exhausted and any free time I had this weekend, I was asleep. Friday’s super early alarm (4:30, after 5 hours of sleep) in combination with a late evening (home past […]

Heute Morgen fahre ich nach Flughafen Tegel für meinen Flug.
Fliegen ist wunderbar. Wenn man ist über der Erde im Flugzeug, es ist Zauber. In der Morgen, ich sitze im Stuhl, lese ein Buch, sehe ein Film, und arbeite auf meine Computer. Dann, sieben bis acht Stunden später ich […]
Eurovision was one of the first European things I ever latched onto—and I latched onto it not knowing what it was whilst being totally clueless about its history. I just knew that it was something awfully important and awfully fun. It took a few more minutes for me to realize that it was also awful: […]
Watching the passing boats.
My big actions of the day: a walk through the historic harbor areas and a long afternoon nap.
Yup, that was my big day. I’d originally planned on finding the beach, but it was rainy in the morning, and after the sun came out, it didn’t really stay out and […]
I guess that I’ve been somewhat fortunate that I’ve had incredible exposure to diversity in my life and that whenever I’m presented with something new, it rarely throws me for a loop.
Like transgender individuals.
Apparently I’m oblivious to the social problems that face the Ts because although I lived with one I never really […]
I’m about to make a claim that may or may not be true, but from my perspective the vast majority of lesbian films are awful.
I’ve suffered through Go Fish and The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, to name two of the worst. Lesbian films are filled with women sitting around and talking with […]
It took me awhile, but a year ago, whilst in England, I picked up some novels by David Lodge.
David Lodge is, in academic circles, famous for his academic trilogy, the David Lodge Trilogy, starting off with Changing Places, followed by Small World, and concluding with Nice Work. I’d never heard of the books before […]
In response to yesterday’s post, I received some criticism from an anonymous commenter:
Don’t trivialize what children do and don’t understand. There are some things that are family friendly and some things that aren’t – plain and simple. If you want people to respect you, you have to be a bit more open minded to […]

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free!
