Not only is Cinderella is going to the ball, but it looks like the coach may not turn into a pumpkin. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. The Las Vegas Golden Knights are in the Stanley Cup finals. To say the hockey world is stunned is probably the understatement of 2018. The Knights are […]
It is Pentecost Sunday, a day in the church calendar that can vary in importance depending on which particular branch of Christianity is doing the celebrating. In Germany (or at least in my part of Germany) it is a big deal. I say that, not because I have seen any particular emphasis on the […]
It’s the size of a phone booth (if you remember phone booths) and empty of everything except hope. It showed up in Sulzburg’s market Square Wednesday. I think it is a place where people can bring their books and take something different. I saw one in Staufen, when we were there a few months ago. […]
Need I say more?
It was the QR code and the idea of using PayPal that reminded me that even though this is very rural Germany, we are still in the 21st century. A couple of kilometres away from our apartment, across from the grocery store we frequent, is a field of flowers. I noticed last fall that it […]
Monday was one of those days. So was Sunday now that I think of it. No time to think, no time to write. That’s what happens when you are up before the crack of dawn and out of the house. There was/is a seminar in Basel that I was/am attending. That means I’m missing a […]
In Canada people drive a Mercedes Benz or a BMW to show that they have arrived. They are luxury vehicles, favored by the rich and upwardly mobile. Owning one says you are an overachiever, one of the elite. What qualifies as a luxury vehicle may be a little different here. Mercedes and BMW are both […]
I was expecting it to return May 1, but didn’t see the Christmas tree return as a May Pole. Mind you, I wasn’t in Sulzburg on May Day either, so I could have missed it. Friday afternoon though the tree was back in the market square. I didn’t know why. Then, when I saw a […]
I held off on posting this until I had been to the Flohmarkt (flea market) being held today in Sulzburg’s market square. Flea markets don’t hold much appeal to me, but it is tough to resist one that is a minute’s walk from my door. Not that there is anything that I need or want […]
It was about halfway through the day Thursday that I remembered it was the day of the annual March For Life on Parliament Hill. Not being in Ottawa this year it had totally slipped my mind, despite it being the biggest gathering of demonstrators all year. I won’t get into Canada’s lack or abortion laws, […]
