Brokeback Mountain Redux

I’ll be the first to admit that I rewatched Brokeback Mountain last week because of my impending trip to Wyoming, but to say that the film is Wyoming related would be like saying that the best way to prepare for visiting Pittsburgh is to watch the Queer as Folk.

All of that aside, Brokeback Mountain […]

Let’s Get Moist!

No Ego Here, Just Books.

Today is Canada Day, so to my Canuck Friends, and almost-Canuck Friends, let me wish you the very best.

Although I am from the States, I have to confess that I really like Canada. It wasn’t one of the listed options on my vacation suggestions post, but I have […]

Northwest

nwa A330-300 wing from 10A

Yesterday marked the beginning of the end of my airline, Northwest Airlines.

The moment came when the Department of Justice announced they had no objections to the merger of Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Within a few short hours, the merger formally happened and by the time I […]

Current News Thoughts

I have a confession to make.

Other than reading The Economist from cover to cover every week, glancing at edition.CNN.com a couple times every day, and reading a few articles about NYC in the New York Times every day, I really do not follow the news. From what I’ve heard, that probably puts me ahead […]

About Adam

This is the About Adam page posted 26 November 2007. Five years later, there’s a new version.

Hi!

If you’re reading this page, you’re obviously interested in learning more about me, That Queer Expatriate.

I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, USA, attending, Park Hill Elementary School (it was less strange when I […]

Weimar News

Considering how little time I’ve lived in Weimar (four years), this city keeps making the pages of The Economist at an unbelievable rate. Take this week: Weimar: Up from the ashes.

My previous homes of Denver, Laramie, and Bloomington, have either not made it in at all, or have appeared a number of times appropriate […]

‘08 Eurovision Favorites

So the morning of the first round of Eurovision semifinals, I had not listened to a single entry in this year’s contest.

I’ve made up for lost time in the last three days—my iPod has been plugged into my ears with the 43 tracks on constant rotation and I can now tell you which are […]

Cleaning Change

As I was cleaning, both at home and at work, I found a lot of my spare, leftover, change from my travels—a grand total of 44.75€ in total. The dominate source: the States with 17.09€.

I used to go out of my way to get rid of my excess currency as I left the country […]

Travel Thoughts

This summer is going to be quite busy—and it snuck up on me without warning.

I foresee business in New York and Indiana; with additional stops in Lisbon, Berlin, and Munich, plus the wedding in Turkey.

I haven’t really thought much about any of the stops, although it will be my first time in Munich […]

Bells Are Ringing…

I realize that many of you are mystified by how I chose the places I go—like last year when I landed in South Africa and Swaziland—how’d that happen?! Or Armenia—which I selected for incredibly odd reasons.

Regardless of past reasons, this year I have a good reason for going to Ayvalik this summer.

For the […]
