So, let’s talk about stuff!

Yes, it is nearly 1 AM and I’m awake. Hooray. Our trip to Indiana was great except for the too short part. One of the highlights for me was running around town with just my mother. While on the hunt for a parking spot, I drove past a mother and daughter (about our ages) and [...]

American style shopping…

I forgot to tell you…while in Berlin, I went to the grocery store with our friend’s wife. While we were there she pointed out to me the “foreign” section of the store and the half a shelf of “American” food. They did an excellent job of pegging us, BTW. Here is what we Americans eat: [...]

European Tour: the part that takes place in Europe!

So anyway, eventually we got to Berlin. Gene’s best friend met us in baggage claim. We arrived around 10 AM and we stayed awake as long as possible…by which I mean we were passed the eff out by approximately 3 pm. Yes, that’s the wrong thing to do but I suck at time changes. And [...]

European Tour: more yammering

As I mentioned awhile ago, the trip from Cheesecake City to Berlin had two layovers: Thirty-three minutes in Ohio and an hour in Paris. A rep from Delta told me “No stopping, no shopping” for the Ohio layover. The flight to Ohio actually got there a little early -YAY!- although I did not stop or [...]

European Tour: the pre-aftermath

So anyway. Our trip to Germany. We were invited to visit all the way back at Christmas 2009, and we’d planned to go over the summer, but as I remarked, it is fraking expensive to go in the summer. Plus, I had the old job bankruptcy problem and then the new job and blah blah [...]

Vacation: Briefly, w/ bullet points

Walked in the door about an hour ago. Been awake mostly since midnight Cheesecake City time. Hella tired. Got frisked in by airport security/TSA in Cheesecake City Airport n’ Bait Shop, and airports in Cincinnati and Berlin. Honestly, I may have been frisked in Paris as well but it was around 6 AM Paris time, [...]

First, we take Cincinnati…

then we take Berlin! (OK, actually, first we take Cincinnati, then we take Paris, THEN we take Berlin). Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that there’s a flight from Cincinnati to PARIS? Every time I think of it I imagine the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy walks out [...]

Things that happened yesterday…

Someday I’m going to start a category here called “Things I would have blogged if I had a smart phone”. I imagine that I’ll do this the day before I acquire a phone that will get me to the internet. Yesterday’s annoyances: 1) Got to work early, but later than I’d planned since I was [...]
