Apparently President Obama is planning to visit not only Dresden, but also my hometown Weimar next Friday.
The whole week they have been talking about little else on the radio here. The funny thing is that nobody seems to really know the plan for the day.
It is clear that his main reason for coming to Weimar [...]
Obama in Weimar
Short Update and an Apology
I have been quite absent from this blog lately. I am very busy offline at the moment and neglected this playground a bit. But I hope that will change again soon. Things are changing in my life (in a good way, hopefully) and I am learning to shift my priorities around right now. Naturally, some [...]
Life and Death
Is it bad timing to fall in love at a funeral, or is it in fact the very best timing possible? I don’t know.

More randomness
The weather is back to crappy. No surprise there. But since my mom, after making me paint the basement yesterday, threatened to employ my help for gardening work today, I don’t complain.
