What do you need
During this lockdown, self-quarantine, self-isolation, stay at home time. I've done a lot of interesting things. I've decided I wanted to relearn a few things. I've cooked, a lot. Boy have I cooked a lot. I asked a few friends for some things they were cooking or buying. I was so happy when a few got back to me. ...

Gin Watermelon Basil Smash
Wait, it's September, which means summer is coming to an end? Even though the summer might be coming to a close, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy a great summer cocktail. During the summer I generally have two things around, some watermelon in my frig and some fresh basil that I'm growing on my balcony or somewhere in my apartment.

Figuring all of this out
Where do we start? How do we start? Do we even bother to start? What are these questions and what is the point of these things? I'm not really sure what to tell you. The events of the last several months have made a lot of us think and wonder about the world we live in. People are getting fired,...

Living through a crisis
You walk in and you see empty shelves. You know that you had been hearing about people buying up certain things, but you think, nah, can't be that bad. You walk into the market, OK, someone is wearing a mask. That other person is wearing gloves, latex gloves.

6 Month Back in the States, Oh My!

The Aftermath, Part II
It has been a very interesting time in the last few months since I wrote about the issues I had to go through in clearing out my grandmother’s house after her passing. A lot has happened. For one, I’m no longer in Germany. Yes, after over 8 years, the time came to move. This is the biggest thing of all....

The Aftermath, Part I
Let me just get this out of the way. When I get these done, these won’t be my normal mission statement of things I like to write, but this is a platform for me to get my thoughts out overall. Where do I begin, the last few months have had a lot going on. I’ve traveled to several countries, checked off a few boxes...

Goodbye
When you get a call from your mother close to 4am on a Sunday morning, you know it can’t be a good thing. Especially when you aren’t at home in your place. I was sleeping in a multiperson hostel with friends in Freiburg. When I was able to call my mom, I was given the news, I never wanted to receive. My grandmother was...

The Christmas Markets are Here!!
To say it’s the most wonderful time of the year might be a little bit much. The most wonderful time of the year for me is when the weather is warm and I’m enjoying a beer or some other cold beverage outside. The very close wonderful time of the year is clearly when the Christmas Markets open and we are able to enjoy...
