The S.O. and I went into Stuttgart tonight to visit the Weinachts Markt. It had only opened on the 23rd-so every thing was new and fresh-and with it being a Saturday night, it was more than a little crowded. It was made even more so because of the fact that 9000 people showed up in… Continue reading The party of Nein.

A chill in the air.
Today was the first day I had to scrape ice off the windshield-before driving to work. I am quite sure it won’t be the last. The consolation was that for the first time in 5 days-there was no fog in either the morning or afternoon. The fog is what is unique to me. I had… Continue reading A chill in the air.

This past week was filled with mundane process of getting briefing after briefing-so that the powers that… Continue reading Trying again.
And so it goes…..
Damn Internet Explorer 9! For some reason there is an issue with typing a post in Word Press with my theme and Internet explorer nine-which I upgraded to, because I wanted to be able to pay my electric bills while I was in Romania. I had a nice post all typed out for you and… Continue reading And so it goes…..
Not even a week.
That we have been in Germany. But it sure seems longer. Not in a bad way-but in a good way, in that it means that we have been quite busy, and the next week holds in store much of the same. It has also re-affirmed for me that Col Gundel was right-I should have stuck… Continue reading Not even a week.
