This year I have managed to spring forward twice, but I am never falling back. Back in March I was in Chicago (well, Evansville, Indiana) for the spring forward that marks Daylight savings – lost an hour of sleep there. Then I returned to Berlin and experienced the spring forward there as well. In other […] I have to admit that fall has really snuck up on me – not temperature wise, but light wise. The temperatures really dropped in August and I’ll readily admit to having worn sweaters and long-sleeved shirts in August and September in order to keep warm. I managed to hold off turning on the heat until […] It’s hard to believe, but as I write this it’s 4 pm outside and it’s dusk. It feels a lot more like 7 or 8 pm, but it’s not. It is life further north. I hesitate what it must be like further north because at this time of year it’s hard for me to work […] I have been in cleaning mood this week—sometimes my cleaning productivity hurts my work productivity, but all in all, it’s probably a good thing. When I got to my office yesterday, I realized that I couldn’t find anything on my desk—and that, in fact, a lot of the stuff on my desk was somewhat vintage […] It’s definitely dark early here. I stayed in Weimar today, and in the late afternoon I had a hankering for fresh veggies to include with my dinner, so I slipped on my iPod and headed to the nearest grocery store, where I picked up a head of lettuce, some peppers, and an avocado. Dinner was […] I’ve probably talked about this before, but it really hit home today. This morning, for the first time in awhile, it was actually light when I got up and went off to the office. It was nice to walk down the streets looking at the colorful trees and get on the train to my office […] So I was looking at a hotel website for South Africa, and some of the hotels were listing their 2007 Autumn and Winter Specials. I thought to myself, “But I am going in May.” Ooops. Dear Fellow Thüringers: Yes, I realize that today’s weather was absolutely, positively fantastic. The sun was out, one could walk the streets wearing just a t-shirt, and drink coffee outside. It could not have possibly been a better Wednesday in Weimar in February. Not only that, the weather forecast for the next few days is […] Today was a vaguely productive day – I think one of my projects that I keep thinking is done, is now almost really done. I had a surprise email to deal with regarding the project at the end of the day, but that was no big deal in the end. The day concluded with a […] It seems like it was only a month or two ago and the sun was coming up at 4am—now the sun is coming up sometime after my alarm time of 6:25, and I’m having a hard time dealing with it. Such is life at the northern latitudes. I’ve been on a bread-baking kick of late, […] |
