T̶w̶o̶ One p̶e̶r̶p̶e̶t̶u̶a̶l̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶a̶t̶s̶ immigrant settling into home country number five.
Greetings from Dublin, where I’m hanging out for a little while. I’m a bit disappointed to be missing out on the harsher winter back home in Munich, but at least we’ve seen a bit of snow here in the past couple days (although nothing like what London got). The sun has made itself scarce. So … Read more
We recently got home from a fabulous long weekend in Paris, but I’ve been putting off blogging about it because I can’t think of anything to say. I mean, I could tell you about what we did, saw, and ate, but none of it seems particularly insightful, entertaining, or original. But hey, that doesn’t stop … Read more
If you haven’t already, go see the amazing Kandinsky exhibit at the Lenbachhaus. It’s only in Munich through February 22nd, after which it travels to Paris and New York (but without the Blaue Reiter show that’s here in Munich with it). Give yourself plenty of time to see both buildings.

First up is Kitzbühel, Austria, where we recently spent a day.

In the meantime, while I’m waiting for my sexy IT department to resuscitate the computer, I figured I’d pass along this important info that I recently saw on … Read more
Just when you think you’ve discovered all the groovy things about Munich, something new comes along. Like skating on frozen canals in front of a palace. Which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. OK, one of them. Half of Munich seemed to be out on the Schloss Nymphenburg canals today, skating, walking, and playing … Read more
