Or in German: Noch damit beschäftigt.
I got some interesting and good news yesterday. Namely that I will be traveling in the near future-back and forth across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean-all in one month. Whoo Hoo! Let the frequent flyer mileage counters spin.
The S.O. and I put the finishing touches on the lease for our house today. We are excited about where we are going to live. Its in a small village-but its got a lot of beautiful countryside-and a gasthaus just down the street. Beer within walking distance! Whoo hoo again!
I have found a totally rocking FM station that I listen to on the way to work. Die neue 107.7–a station that plays rock and roll from the good years of rock and roll. I was hooked when they played “Cocaine”. No, not THAT Cocaine by Eric Clapton-but the original song. Which most people don’t realize was written by JJ Cale. The understated coolness of JJ & even his band is so lost on most, especially in today’s pop culture of pablum-fed clones-who have no idea of what real “progressive rock” is. JJ Cale wrote the original and Clapton thinks he is a genius. Which he is.
Plus I get to listen to German news and traffic reports-I figured out today what “Blitz reports are”. They are where the station does a great favor to the citizenry by telling folks where the traffic cameras are. ( To be “blitzed” is to get shot by a traffic camera-your ticket is in the mail.). Good listening practice.
Tomorrow-being an American holiday. Its off to Hohenzollern Castle-which is about an hour from here. Cool.
With luck-you will not hear politics from me for two days………
Maybe.
When I was there the IG shop was pretty much a 107.7 only zone. AFN is appallingly bad unless you need a sports update.
