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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Santa’s a Whore!

We made it! Cindy and I had an uneventful trip home, including a fantastic night in London. After our three and a half hour train and tube journey to our hotel, we simply dropped off our bags and headed out into the city for the night. We first headed to Hyde Park where the Winter [...]

I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane!

Well, first a train, then the tube, then a jet plane!
Cindy and I got packed this morning and, if I do say so myself, we did a cracking job! Even though we have to bring a lot of winter stuff with us, we each only have a large backpack and a small suitcase with [...]
