The sun has made an appearance after a long winter, and it’s time to go outside. If you know anything about my dogs Ella and Louis, you know that means we’ll be going up up up. They love to hike in the Alps, and I don’t blame them. In the last few days, I’ve heard… Continue reading no matter what wanderlust comes upon me

out of a funk…onto a journey
There’s only one way to ease back into this ol’ Dachshund Blog, and it’s not to ease in at all. My intention is to slog in full speed. As quickly as one can slog, I suppose. Where have I been? What have I been doing? Well, the specifics are rather unexciting for the most part,… Continue reading out of a funk…onto a journey
do what you love
This is one of my photos from London, and I’ve been considering different ways to continue blogging about those two trips. See, for those who haven’t been following at home, I went to London to see Robert Godden and hang out with my friends Nigel (this blog’s London correspondent) and @elaine4queeen this autumn, and then… Continue reading do what you love
so blue I’ve got the greens (searching for a flat in Munich)
Not sure where I first heard that line, but I think it was a singer one night in San Antonio at Jim Cullum’s place down on the Riverwalk. I’ve always loved the imagery. Most of you think the the Blues are bad, but you ain’t seen the Greens To be candid, I’m mostly cheerful… Continue reading so blue I’ve got the greens (searching for a flat in Munich)
A year? It’s been a whole year?
Has it been an entire year? Quite a lot has happened this year since I started this blog. I’d taken a few stabs at blogging (unsuccessfully) and still have a teablog that gets a bit of attention. I should do more over there, but my friends who’re tea fanatics seem to be patiently awaiting my… Continue reading A year? It’s been a whole year?
Shadows and light revisited
I wrote a blogpost with this title back in early summer, but didn’t even mention the Joni Mitchell song I was referencing. That was an unfortunate omission, because it’s a song worth knowing. Here are the lyrics: ‘Every picture has its shadows And it has some source of light Blindness, blindness and sight The perils… Continue reading Shadows and light revisited
the spirits are saying slow down
Do you believe in ghosts? Yes, me neither. None of that. Weird things happen, and I’m sure that even if I can’t explain them, there must be some explanation. This blog has deteriorated into a bit of memorial of loved ones who’ve passed on occasion. I don’t set out to make it such. There was… Continue reading the spirits are saying slow down
you can’t always expect goats
Have been toiling away at a serious blogpost, but it’s not ready to be thrown up on the old Dachshund Blog. Not yet anyway. So, I wanted something new to be here, and I decided on an old photo of me with some goats. Who doesn’t like goats? This was one of my more ridiculous… Continue reading you can’t always expect goats
a Dachshund wrestling the devil on his newly built bridge
Have been in the car quite a lot in the last few days. I’ve lived in places where you really need a car and then I’ve lived in places where public transportation makes having a car unnecessary, and I much prefer the latter. But I’m no Luddite. As I stumble through life, I’m in awe… Continue reading a Dachshund wrestling the devil on his newly built bridge
goodbye Sebastian
Before you start thinking that this has become a Dachshund Blog, I assure you that it’s unintentional that I’m writing about weiner dogs twice in one week. I can’t guarantee that I won’t find another topic Dachshund-related, but I can’t imagine that actually happening. To be clear – if a dog of this breed pulls… Continue reading goodbye Sebastian
