Last night, Ana and I went to a movie. In a movie theater. It was our return to movie theaters in over two years, I think. We couldn’t remember the last time we “went” to a movie. Last week we saw a movie but it was in a huge room with like 10 people, spaced…
It’s Monday….again?
This morning my body was wide awake at 6:30/6:45 am. The world was still dark outside so I laid in bed for a little bit before both dogs got my attention by 7am. I was up and running. I put on some work out clothes to take the pups out but quickly realized that it…
Sunday morning…
“Every day I check your blog and nothing. Every day!” My amazing wife said this to me the other morning out of the blue. She had my blog pulled up on her computer and she sighed with discontent. The truth is, I haven’t written here for a while because I really have not felt very…
Tourists in our city
As I watch the rain pour today and the temps just start to get to a mid sixties level (18-19 in C), I am so glad that we played tourist yesterday. It is just about fully Autumn around here and it feels early to me. I am used to this kind of temperate climate turning…
Corona test appointments and Mandy Patinkin plays my Dad?
Lately I have been thinking about the things happening in my life that would probably be very different if I lived in the United States…. 1.Just a moment ago, Ana and I registered for two upcoming Corona tests. Here in Berlin, we are allowed up to one free rapid test per day for free as…
We still have a flight!
Almost once a day, one of us will look up our upcoming flight to the US and declare, “we still have a flight!” As the days get closer and closer, I am getting more and more excited I have to admit. Ana’s parents (my fab in laws) fly in Monday night to be at our…
The next morning
This morning I lazily woke up at my usual and normal time (around 7ish) but this morning I didn’t have to leap up to take our two dogs out on their normal route. I could just lay in bed and think about my day. I could get up and make a little coffee and come…
I’m back!
Ana has informed me that she checks my blog every single day hoping for a new entry. And to be honest, dear reader, I just haven’t felt the creative mojo lately. So in order to try to achieve some creativity back, my wonderful wife (I get to say that now!) has rented me an airbnb…
The numbers keep going down in week 35 after lockdown began
On Saturday we loaded up our backpacks with little blankets, bottles of water, our books and a ball for the dogs and set out to walk to Treptower Park. This is a huge park just a 20 minute walk away that is famous for its position along water on one side, its monuments on another,…
