It’s mindboggling how fast life can go to hell in a handbasket. No matter what you planned, life is life and you have to roll with the punches. As they say, if your life doesn’t have ups and downs then you’re dead. That is true but why, oh why, when something good happens is the […]

It’s a Hard Knocks Life
Winter is finally upon us here in Germany. Today is one of those cold, slushy days where it’s snowing but it doesn’t stay on the ground. It just leaves a big old sh***y mess. It looks like someone spilled a big ICEE. Anyways, on to more important things like my blog for instance. I would […]
The Customer Is Not Always King
It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do, that and the fact that I could be getting a new car very soon. That really does work wonders. With 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, I feel like a new person, that and the thought of getting a new car. There are few things that get […]
To Us It Is the Beast
With the world changing at such an accelerated rate, I would like to touch on a subject that is, shall I say, ‘touchy’, but it has come to the forefront and can no longer be ignored. They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you but yes it can. “My people perish from a lack […]
Not So High Points
I’ve been pouring over the news looking for something interesting to blog about. I’m afraid I have come up empty handed. That’s okay since I can ramble on endlessly about nothing. Speaking of nothing, there was one story I relished today, one directed toward nasty, rubberfaced Simon Cowell. Oh the comeuppance that man has coming. […]
Winds of Change
You know those days were you just can’t seem to get ahead no matter what you do, like you’re moving in slow motion? That’s how I’ve been feeling for the past few days. To add to it, it’s been dark and cloudy making everything seems so ominous. It makes my thoughts turn inwards which is […]
Dream, Dream, Dream
When we turn off the waking world and go to sleep, our deepest fears come to the forefront. Being human, we all have the same deep-seated worries of getting old, losing our looks, being unprepared for life. Well, except for me. I’ve never felt that way – never, ever. Among the most common ones are […]
Make the Yuletide Gay
It’s been brought to my attention that I am behind with the Christmas adornments this year. Its a few days past Thanksgiving and my house is unbedecked. Aint no holly no where. Forces keep aligning against me and my decorating plans. Life circumstances keep coming betwixt me and my 80′s themed tree. All my friends, […]
A Kraut Kristmas
I didn’t have much of any sort of Thanksgiving this year but I hope to make up for it with Christmas and New Year’s. My only regret is not spending it with family and friends like I did last year even though I came back at least 10lbs heavier. Just breathing the American air tends […]
To Russia With Love
I love how today we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world just by the click of a mouse. I let my fingers do the walking and my mouse do the talking. They both have traveled the span of the globe since the mid-90′s. What on earth would we would do if Al Gore […]
