Not sure exactly what’s going on in this window, but apparently Guinness is Good for You. I suppose that’s useful information to know. I thought the gnome holding up those several Krugs of Bavarian beer would be a nice way to mention that the Oktoberfest has begun here. For the uninitiated, that means upward… Continue reading Guinness is apparently good for you…apparently

whimsy in the sunlight
Can’t quite remember when I took this, but I love the whimsy in the above face. Lots going on in the world of Lahikmajoe, but I want something new to show up here periodically even when I’m occupied elsewhere. More soon…you can hardly wait, can you?
why would I want to dwell on any of that?
It’s been seven years since my dad died, and I wish I had better words to express how incomprehensible that still is. All those things you say when someone who was suffering has passed have slowly subsided. I remember him in the most inopportune moments, but there he is. The things I dig deep within… Continue reading why would I want to dwell on any of that?
slowed to a crawl
Because of a new job and other obligations, there hasn’t been much time for blogging lately. Nevertheless, I was going through photos of Seville recently and was reminded of the above moment when I escaped the burning sunlight. If you’re wondering whether this place was as peaceful as it looks, the answer is yes. My… Continue reading slowed to a crawl
all we’ve got
‘ “The past,” he said, resting three fingers across the mouth of his cup to keep Bea from pouring yet another refill, “is a gravity. It holds you to the earth, but it also keeps pulling you down, trying, like the earth itself, to reclaim you. And the future, always looking that direction, planning, anticipating… Continue reading all we’ve got
licking her lips atop the ‘sea mountain head’
It was the first hike of the season last weekend, and it took me this long to upload the photos. Ella and Louis look rather regal, don’t they? We took the train to Bayrischzell, which is an area of Upper Bavaria we know quite well. We’ve hiked here often. Sitting in the square before we… Continue reading licking her lips atop the ‘sea mountain head’
give my pinky over there a workout
Have been humming Tom Petty‘s Learning to Fly for the past few hours, but instead of ‘fly‘, I’ve been inserting the word ‘type‘ in my thoughts. Why? Because I’m learning to type, of course. Well, relearning. I’m the sort who normally veers toward the things that come easily to him, and typing was never one… Continue reading give my pinky over there a workout
a clear picture in a dark cinema
The last week was spent watching movies. Mostly. Of course, Ella and Louis still needed to go out, and I had a day trip to Bamberg on business. That’s to say, life didn’t stop for the Filmfest München, but plenty was put on hold. There are not only plenty of film reviews left to write,… Continue reading a clear picture in a dark cinema
Nixon punching a Smilodon

pulls you along
There are quite a few famous historical buildings in Bamberg, but I often find myself drawn back to the area of town called Stephansberg – particularly the Concordia Straße pictured above. It’s quaint. The cobblestone road is incredibly inviting, and it’s almost as if it pulls you along from one adorable little terraced house to… Continue reading pulls you along
