A dog’s life expectancy…please don’t remind me

When I go on a trip, especially if it’s more than a few days, the worst part is taking the dogs to the Hundepension and saying goodbye. Don’t get me wrong: I know I’m about to go galavanting around somewhere bombarding my feed with photos of the sky in some far flung locale or food… Continue reading A dog’s life expectancy…please don’t remind me

Back to the Future…Camino style

Remember these shoes from last year? I walked a whole week on the Camino, and bombarded my feed with photos and waxed philosophic about what it all meant and laughed at myself at the preposterousness of my thinking I even had a clue.  Most people take a month to six weeks to walk the whole… Continue reading Back to the Future…Camino style

Getting outa Kraków, but I assure you…coming back as soon as I can

Been a bit of a whirlwind, but was it ever worth it. After a few hours in Poland‘s capital Warsaw on Friday, arrived later the same day in Kraków and hit the ground running.  What a gorgeous city and what wonderful people.

This kitty’s komin’ to Kraków

One of those places I’ve always wanted to see? Not far from the Czech border in what I’ve heard is a gorgeous part of southern Poland, I’ve downloaded digital books about Kraków and am googling where’s the best place to exchange money.  Get to spend several days remembering what a pain in the tuches it… Continue reading This kitty’s komin’ to Kraków

First Susanne became obsessed and then I decided to offer a new blogging course

You have your people.

The western sky alight and melodies rattle round in my head

Playing with a new band, as well as  ramping up new projects with Old Braunfels, as Jarrod has made his way back to Munich after months of being a digital nomad. Welcome back home, you old goat.  But what was I saying? These new Germans I’m palling around with love playing covers of stuff you’d hear… Continue reading The western sky alight and melodies rattle round in my head

Beamers & the real power in Bavaria

‘Please turn on the Beamer, so we can start the meeting in time,’ my colleague says.  Huh? The Beamer? Are they giving me a company car?  Wow, I like the direction this is going.  Nope. Not a chance. Instead, this is another example of them having funny English-sounding nicknames for things that those of us… Continue reading Beamers & the real power in Bavaria

Tindergarden is the Ode to a Nightingale – choose your own Word of the Year

Word of the year: How about Tindergarden? Or if that doesn’t grab your fancy, what about Hopfen-Smoothie? That’s a euphemism for beer, as Hopfen is the German word for one of beer’s essential ingredients.  No? I’ve got at least one more. Here’s Posttruth for you.  We’re already deep into the holiday season, and soon enough… Continue reading Tindergarden is the Ode to a Nightingale – choose your own Word of the Year
