May the Schwarz(wald) Be With You!

Hello, it’s me again! Do you remember who I am? I don’t blame you if you don’t as it has been quite some time since I have written anything. Those of you who know me well will know that I have been, and am going, through some big changes in my life situation that have [...]

Would You Like Some Sauerkraut With Your Lederhosen?!

Wir sind aus zum Land des Bieres und des Schnitzel! Hopefully that says “we are off to the land of beer and schnitzel.” If not, then I will have to file a complaint with babelfish. All of our flights, rentals and accommodations are booked and so we are go for launch.
With Prague and Dublin behind [...]

Went to Cleveland to See About a Horse!

OK, I admit that the title might be a bit misleading, but I will be honest, they usually are. Besides, this one is close enough as the words Cleveland and Horse are involved, but not exactly as described. Now on to the story.
Earlier last week we made plans with our friends Erika and Ray to [...]

Stuck in the Nidd(le) with Ewe!

Wow! It has been two weeks since I last did a post – yikes! I guess there hasn’t been much going on and so I haven’t felt the need to do an update, and it has been a nice little break. So, here we go with an update, but I am not promising that it [...]

An Englishman, a South African and a Canadian Walk Into a Bar!

We are back from Dublin! We survived! We got back on Sunday but it was late and I didn’t sit down at the computer that night. Yesterday was spent going through the pictures and videos and processing them for sharing and now I have left this post until late at night, so I will try [...]

The Gospel According to Weber, 3:16

In the beginning there will be fire and beef, followed by the grill. So sayeth Al Roker.
Yesterday my latest accessory for the grill arrived – Weber’s Big Book of Grilling. Wow, what a book! I spent my first hours with it just reading up on the history of grilling, must have ingredients (and why), managing [...]

York & Cindy – Na-Nu Na-Nu!

Ah, memories of rainbow-suspendered, hairy-chested aliens from Ork are all rushing back to me….. Oh, sorry. Got a little distracted there. Let’s get back to the purpose of this post – our trip to York yesterday.
Yesterday, after three months of talking about it, we finally headed to York for the day. The forecast was for [...]

Czechmate!

Oh man I am good! Czechmate! Haha. I got plenty more where that came from too. I am not sure if you have caught on to my comedic genius, but what I am doing is replacing the word “check” with “Czech” in various phrases to come up with witty titles. I know, it is advanced [...]

Czech me out!

First off, I wish I could take credit for the clever title of this post, but I can’t as it was plastered on t-shirts all over Prague and if anyone ever went there then they would know I was stealing it, so there is no point in trying. Next, Prague is a fantastic city and [...]

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane… It’s Super-squirrel! (and a bird)

It’s going to be a short one today I think. I am a little tired from walking downtown and back, about 4 hours round-trip it ended up being. I had to go get a haircut and some currency exchanged and I figured I would bring my camera along just in case. I wasn’t in a [...]
