Struck By Lightning
Yes, you read the title correctly. I wasn’t personally struck, but the airplane I rode in from Boston to Newark en route to Paris was struck by lightning. During our initial decent into Newark, there was a blinding flash and a loud snap outside the left window. That was it, just a bright flash and [...]
European Second Wind
I leave tomorrow morning for my final six weeks in Paris. For those of you that know me, I’m sure you’re aware of my disdain for Paris. It hasn’t been so much a disdain for Paris as it has been the fact that I just haven’t been home since July 2009. I’ve started to feel [...]
T Minus 5 Days to Winter Party Madness
Rather than focus on the negatives, I’ve tried to create a video blog entry about the positives. Winter Party is only 5 days away, I’ll be home (for good) soon, and I’ve caught up on my reality TV.
It’s Been Too Long
I know it’s been awhile since my last blog entry, and I apologize for that. I know you’ve all missed me. Therefore, I’ve made a video blog entry. Now, I must warn you, the camera angle forced me to look down into the camera the whole time and therefore, I look bug-eyed. I swear I [...]
So Many Things…
Usually the expression goes something like, “So many things to do, so little time.” I couldn’t exactly use that as the title for this post because it just isn’t true. It seems that I have nothing but time to get so many things done. Whether I will use that time wisely or not is the [...]
Deutschland Weeks 4 – 6
So, I made this video BEFORE I made my dancing video – but you were all so anxious to watch me dance, I posted the dancing video first. I didn’t get any comments, so you all must agree about what a fabulous dancer I am. Here’s my video blog update about Germany. See you soon.
My Personal German Dance Party
Ok – this is not the first time I have published myself dancing on the Internet. For those of you who haven’t seen it before, you can click this link to see my first dance video. I have to admit, this is one of my most watched YouTube videos. For some reason, you all like [...]
Googles Free Holiday Wi-Fi Beats Airport Grinches – Business Center – PC World
Googles Free Holiday Wi-Fi Beats Airport Grinches – Business Center – PC World. WiFi should be free – everywhere. I guess Google agrees! It’s a shame that with all the traveling and airports I will pass through this holiday season that not one of them is a part of Google’s initiative. FREE WI-FI FOR EVERYONE!
Apple Store Carrousel du Louvre opens today
Apple Store Carrousel du Louvre opens today. This article is dated November 7th, so it’s not today, it was Saturday. This is great! I wanted to visit an Apple store in Paris while I was there, but quickly discovered there were none. When I went to the Louvre, there wasn’t any indication that one would [...]
Deutschland – Week 3 – Wolfsburg Tour
I didn’t have any place special to travel to this weekend, so the tour for this week is of Wolfsburg, Germany. Wolfsburg is home to a Volkwagen plant, the Volkswagen arena, and the Autostadt. It appears that everything else in Wolfsburg is there purely because of or in support of the plant. Don’t get me [...]
Deutschland – Week 2 – Berlin Tour
Overall, this week has been pretty good. There might be one or two things I would change about work, but that’s always the case. I left Wolfsburg this weekend and headed for Berlin. I attended the HustlaBall. Of all the times not to have a still or movie camera handy! But, I honestly didn’t think [...]
Deutschland – Week 1
Things in Germany are going well. I have decided that I do like Germany better than Paris so far. I also think Germany, in particular the city of Hanover where I am staying, is a good influence on my overall health. I’ve been on an exercise kick lately, motivated by the numerous runners I watch [...]
Only in Germany – OCD Compliant Restroom
Right now, I’m staying in Hanover, Germany and working in Wolfsburg; the two locations are about an hour away from each other. I decided to stay, at least this week, in Hanover because there are a lot of little shops around and cool things to do. I went to the mall in Hanover today with [...]
Welcome to Deutschland
My first full day in Germany has been an eventful one. I think I’m liking Germany better than France already, but it’s too soon to tell. My initial video blog describes a funny mishap in the hotel this afternoon. Watch and see what happened.
Short Visit Home
I love to travel, especially when it’s on the company’s dime. However, I wish I would have had a longer visit home. I was here just over a week and spent most of the time packing boxes and moving out of my apartment. I was only able to attend one dance party and visit a [...]
