What I like about Germany!

May 22, 2009

Happy Birthday, Germany! The Bundesrepublik Deutschland turns 60 years old today.  Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag! Almost 5 years ago, I made a post about my likes and dislikes of Germany.  I figured I’d update it, and since it’s Germany’s birthday, I’ll save my updated dislikes for another day.

Dealing with ticks

May 19, 2008

Danke danke danke!

November 25, 2006

So our one-day-late Thanksgiving/Going-Away Party went off without a hitch. Although I was just about exhausted from all the cooking by the time the first guests arrived (20 minutes early, that’s Prussian timeliness for you). Charlie actually behaved himself, in fact, I believe he very much enjoyed being the center of attention (btw, Charlie’s my [...]
