The best bottle opener on the planet.
I believe it was back in early September 2012 — when I celebrated being half of my Mother’s age — that I acquired the above bottle opener.
At that point I spent a week on the beaches south of Lisbon doing exactly nothing.
Honestly, lying on […]
No, it’s not my birthday, but it is an important day for me: My mom was 14,095 days old when she gave birth to me.
Practically speaking, it means that I am, today, exactly half of my Mother’s age.
This weekend I’m in Portugal, specifically Costa da Caparica – a smallish resort city just south […]
Until I moved to Weimar, I can honestly say I never really gave graffiti a second thought beyond “Why do people have to deface public property?”
However, I’m somewhat of a pragmatist and I can remember clear as a day when I once sat next to a staunch conservative Republican in America—she had little tolerance […]

The beach is about 25 kilometers from my hotel and I am fortunate that my friend here is willing to loan me his car, so it’s just a matter […]

My guest blogger for that period of time will be close friend and all around amazing guy, IUMike, who I met […]
Looking for hot tips about Lisbon?
Look further, ‘cause I can only tell you about the office I was in yesterday—from about 8:30 until 5 or so. I was busy working.
During my off hours, I’ve been busy sleeping. My last few days in Weimar left me exhausted, and I ended up going to bed […]
For those of you keeping track of me, I’m in Lisbon.
The trip was relatively painless: I’d rented a Mini Cooper for Saturday night, so all I had to do was get up, take a shower, and drive it over to the Leipzig Airport, which it did quite well—I peaked at about 190 on the […]
