Julie Blogging loses appeal for US teenagers, says survey Does this explain my lack of interest in blogging recently? Although I do have the shortest attention span in the world, I haven’t exactly felt the need to switch my online activity to Twitter. I do have a Twitter account, though, in case I ever get the … Read more
Perhaps you’ve noticed that we’re in a bit of a blogging slump here at This non-American Life. I have plenty of material – 100s of photos, several trips I haven’t blogged yet, 20 or so half-finished posts in the queue – but I haven’t felt like doing anything with it.

The run takes about 30 minutes and affords amazing views of the Tegernsee and surroundings, although sometimes it’s a little too scary to admire the view when you’re barreling down a narrow path next … Read more
Scenes from my walk this morning. Munich seems even smaller when blanketed in snow.
OK, one last Christmas market to report on: the Praterinsel Weihnachtsmarkt. Nestled in a woody spot next to the river, this market is one of the smaller ones in central Munich. The outdoor area consists of only a handful of stands, offering not much more than glühwein and crepes. There are a handful of high … Read more
