I’m fresh back from a trip to the USA, where paranoia about Covid is on a whole different level from Germany. Excluding Monroe County, Indiana, only three shops enforced a mask mandate: REI Fort Collins, REI Denver, and an art gallery on the court house square in Spencer, Indiana. In some shops I was the […] Last year, after dumping my iPhone, I was suddenly in the market for a new noise canceling headphone that would (a) work with Bluetooth and (b) really work well. Compactness was desired. After looking at the Bose and Sony offerings, I decided to go for the Sony WH-1000XM3 – a name that really rolls […] Last fall I took a week off to explore and hike throughout The Gaspésie peninsula of Québec, Canada. I extolled the virtues of my vacation last November – about a month after I got home. Even now, some 9 months after I was there, I miss that particular trip.

It’s at the foot of my bed, directly opposite my head. Why am I annoyed? Simple: because today, Friday, after work, my plans are to go to the airport, hop on Austrian (OS) […] Earlier this month it was time to take a break from the cold and dark that is wintertime in Berlin – For reasons that are a bit unclear, even to me, I split my vacation in two, spending the first part in Lima, Peru, and the second part in South Carolina. The Lima part […] Earlier this year it dawned on me that the configuration of Christmas and New Year’s landing on Tuesdays meant that I could take from December 22nd through January 1st off – 11 days – using exactly two vacation days.
