What’s in a name?

Yesterday, the news here was reporting (apart from the immigration protests) that there is a backlash in the US against SUVs. Is there really? I just got back a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t notice anything. They played some dippy (and yet so true) country song about SUV drivers being 90 pound soccer moms with a diet coke in one hand and a cell phone in the other. Maybe it was just another opportunity to make fun of Americans.

Pearl Jam is playing here in September and the concert was already sold out by the time I got around to looking for tickets (4 days after they went up for sale). Bah humbug!

Charlie was depressed when we first got back. I guess hanging out with Rainer and I is not as much fun as being in my mom’s house with it’s large yard, two dogs, and 7 residents- although he isn’t eating either, so we suspect someone was also sneaking him snacks there *cough* my aunt Dang *cough cough*.

Germany now has a version of Dancing with the Stars. There is some woman on there who was a politician. Rainer told me what she did, but I don’t remember right now. Anyways, I didn’t know any of the celebrities on it and the costumes are horrific. I haven’t seen the American version, but I really hope the costumes aren’t that appalling.
