There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. Last fall I planned this weekend getaway to Las Vegas. The core reason why is a bit embarrassing (*cough*elitestatus*cough*), but it turns out Vegas is an inexpensive trip from Berlin: 565€, round trip, and I planned for three nights. Now if I didn’t have a friend who lived in Vegas, one I haven’t seen in […] This year I’ve lost two friends to illness. The second was just yesterday—and although I knew he was ill, the loss is sudden and unexpected. I had the great privilege of speaking with him just about a month ago and we (that is to say his wife, he, and I) were starting to think about […] I received word yesterday that Garry, a colleague, who was the fiancée of another colleague, died last Thursday evening.

For me, whenever I hear about insane US policies, I presume that they are not adopted by Canada because Canadian policy makers look […] Until I moved to Germany, one of the daily constants in my life was a newspaper. Growing up in Denver, my family got the Rocky Mountain News and The New York Times, every day. Some of my earliest childhood memories involve reading the Sunday comics in my parent’s bed. In elementary school, I would read […] Society and people are transformed by major events. I identify transformational events by the stories people tell.
