Killer On The Loose
I am a killer. And I make no apologies for that. At least this time I remembered to take a picture. When vacationing in Europe a few years ago, I noted the absence of screens on the windows and wondered if perhaps Europe didn’t have the same issue with insects that we have in North […]
What A Bargain!
Like anyone with an Amazon account, I get regular emails with items that are recommended for me based on my past purchases. All part of the “service” designed to part me from my hard-earned money. Offhand I don’t remember ever actually purchasing any of those recommended items, though I appreciate the suggestions. Yesterday’s though, from […]
Walking to Britzingen
It was a beautiful Saturday and my wife suggested we walk to Britzingen, which is about three towns from Sulzburg, depending on how you go through the vineyards. Round trip is about 10 kilometres (that’s six miles for Americans). We have walked to Britzingen before. The first time, back in October, we walked there from […]

Traffic Reports
The technology disturbs me, even if I appreciate the intent. We took our first longer road trip this week in the car we purchased a couple of months back. It wasn’t the first time we had been on the Autobahn (not counting short trips to the Basel airport), though it felt like it. Back in […]
Walking in the Forum – II
Feedback was good for Sunday’s post, so here’s another sampling from our Easter Sunday afternoon walk.
Full Disclosure
I don’t normally get excited about a first-time novelist, but this author was an exception. When I saw the notice for Full Disclosure, which should hit stores today, I knew it was a must-read. Courtroom novels written by lawyers, such as Scott Turow or John Grisham are pretty standard fare. Their credentials make you feel […]
