I’m writing these Whatchamacallits in the afternoon before the day it gets posted, after I finish my Homeoffice duties.
Basically, my idea is that I wander to a different space within my apartment and find something worth talking about. I am trying to not feature the same space two days in a row: I […]
Growing up in Denver, Northwest Airlines as not an airline I noticed with any regularity. As a kid, the airlines that mattered were United, Continental, and Frontier – all three hubbing at Stapleton International Airport – of those three, only one exists – strangely all three are that one.

Reboarding UA154 heading west from Majuro.
UA 154 is the westbound Island Hopper, going from Honolulu to Majuro to Kwajalein to Kosrae to […]

I’m not quite done with my 2013 travels, but barring any surprises, I have no more new airports this year and no more new countries. There were a bumper crop of new airports for me in 2013: LAR, MCO, and SAN, in the States, and outside the states a whopping seven new airports: LSI, KOI, […]
The air was filled with things that fly!

A very cool flying bat!
It’s legacy as an airport was fitting today: I went to Templehof to fly a kite with my SA […]
I knew far in advance that Thursday at 18:00 CET that I would be in route to the States.
The scene itself? Not so exciting
This is what it looks like from seat 7C on a Continental 757-200. Immediately ahead of me: infinite leg-room, as row 7 is an exit row and, […]
There’s a lot wrong with the recreation (starting with the plane), but it’s worth watching.
And in case you want a more conventional take, here’s a New York Times article.
Security Theater
Manhattan at night.
Somewhere west of Frankfurt, shortly before landing.
Sign of Home: Goethe and Schiller.

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!
