Germany after WWII, a personal perspective

January 9, 2009

Yankee in a New World recently asked on her blog if Germans and Americans have historical guilt in common.  I started to answer that no, I don’t think we really do, then realized I had so much to say that I needed to write it in a post. I think, out of countries that have [...]

Not all that windy city

March 2, 2008

“Nothing to report today” The major storm with hurricane force winds generally failed to appear yesterday, at least in our neck of the woods.  Sarah had organized a ladies brunch meetup for the morning, but from 8-10am it was stormy (the rain was falling horizontally), and since it was supposed to be bad off and on all [...]

A passel o’ new friends

November 5, 2007

I think it’s fair to say that last night’s Regensburg expat dinner was a roaring success. The evening went from 5pm-10pm, and included laughter and a few tears, good conversation and discussions of gall bladder removal, and the making of some great new friends.

In The News

June 15, 2007

My wrists are killing me, apparently carpel tunnel is pretty common in late pregnancy, because our bodies are retaining more fluids (my feet show this quite clearly). I’m still exhausted, despite having slept through MOST of last night. In general I’m pretty blah today, so since that’s nothing interesting to read about, here are some [...]

Meck-Pom in the news

June 7, 2007

With the G8 Summit going on in Heiligendamm and the protests in Rostock, the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania) has been all over the news this week.I’ve gotta say that I’m disappointed in the rioters who were setting cars on fire and digging stones out of the Rostock Stadthafen (city harbor) and pelting them [...]
