plettenberg p-weg impressions
While in Plettenberg, I was fortunate enough to run a marathon/half-marathon with both my girlfriend and my parents. Warning, large pictures and smiles.
Goodbye Deutschland
Upon returning from Germany, I write about some thoughts on my mind (at four in the morning while struggling with jet lag.)
time coming to an end
My time in Germany is starting to come to an end. Only a few more days and then I am back on a plane to America. This has been a great trip and I will be sad to leave everything behind again. But I am excited to see Jen, Otto and all my friends (7) [...]
Marathon Weekend
It was marathon weekend in Plettenberg. Jen walked the half marathon (2:45), I ran it (1:41) and my parents both ran the full marathon (mum: 4:31, dad 4:45). It should be noted that my father ran the last ten miles with cramps and my mother was doped to the gills. Jen also got interviewed on [...]
news from deutschland
I just wanted to send a quick update from Deutschland. All is good. We have finally adjusted to the time change, and survived my cousin’s wedding. Barely that is. I had almost forgotten how much alcohol Germans are able to consume. I saw family members and close friends consume 20-30 alcoholic beverages and still stay [...]
Thank You Lufthansa
On an exceptionally long flight, I have an exceptionally amazing flight experience. Magazines, leg room, soccer jerseys and no TV.

He just graduated from college and now seems to be spending his time talking about jobs, visiting family and doing a new video every Thursday. Believe it or not, he’s heading to Mallorca to film his next video. [...]

The other day I wrote a blog entry about only remembering my german high school sweetheart’s phone number when I was stuck at the airport in Frankfurt. Anyways the girl’s name is Ina and she was a total surprise guest at the party we had at my house last night. I told Ina my story, [...]
Schwestern
My time in Germany is nearing the end. It has been a lot of fun with some bizarre moments, most notably the Sauna club experience with my dad and his cop friend. Anyways, I spent another day with my sisters Laura and Linda. It’s scary to think that Laura is almost 16 and Linda is [...]
germany: small town bar talk
A group of seven rich doctors, bankers and politicians got together in my hometown to open a bar that’s exclusive of the general public. One has to apply to become a member and then pay a 150 Euros annual membership fee, which then qualifies you to be called a "Plettenberger." I guess this concept is [...]
