If there’s one thing Berlin has in spades, it’s history. Lots and lots and lots of history. Much of it is depressing – the kind of history you want to forget but don’t because it should never be forgotten. Like the Nazi’s Aktion T4 program that killed people who were judged to be insane […] Below is my piece for the Wyoming Monologues, a performance put on at the University of Wyoming last night, March 8, 2013, following a performance of the Vagina Monologues. I owe a debt of gratitude to Ian, Stephan, Jay, Alexander, and Bonnie for their helpful comments during the writing process. Further, it would […]
Yesterday I engaged in a bit of random Berlin exploration – it started innocently enough with coffee from *$ — after my coffee, I popped outside and got on the first bus I saw, Bus 186. I recognized the last stop listed (S-Grunewald), but I had no idea how I would get […] While Koko was visiting, I took a couple days off of work to join her in visiting Berlin tourist sites and was quickly reminded of how Germany is the perfect place to live if you love to hate where you are, and at the same time love to love where you are.

Yesterday I played Tourist in Berlin for the first time in a long time, seeing lots of sites in one afternoon and doing a lot of walking.

Anyhow, after the president toured […] Charles T. Payne, US Soldier during WWII in Thüringen Yesterday Obama was on the front page of the Thüringer Allgemeine, today it’s his great uncle, Charles T.
