German escapee





I've managed to find my way through the German front lines and return home. Here is what you missed in images. From Dusseldorf's finest ale, to soccer, to actual work stuff, I had a great trip. One day, I might even bring Mel and the kids.

This was my 4th time in West Germany. This trip I was able to fool some folks into thinking I can speak German.

I love it there. I fanatically love being mistaken for a local and having folks hurl a string of absolutely un-comprehensible language at me. I even got asked where to eat by a couple of tourists.

Other languages I pretended to speak: English (I ain't that good at it), Spanish (poorly I assure Mrs. Suppes) and even got some sign language in (to the absolute delight to the deaf folks on the train). My kids taught me some of that from pre-school.

My last big business trip, you'll recall I broke an elevator. This trip, it was a train car. Seems my foot blocked the door from opening, preventing it from closing securely. It resulted in the conductor coming back to fix, earning me bad looks from the passengers.

Other than that, no major issues. The soccer game was awesome. It was a "B" level team but they had more skill than most I've gotten to see firsthand. And of course, lots of beer in the stadium.

Anyhow, trip was good and it is great to be home. How are you doing?

If you have a sec, click on the last photo. It was taken with the new Casio ZX150 and it takes really nice pics. Just saying.

It looks beautiful. You really should take Mel and the kids.
It also looks cold. Isn't it 80 degrees everywhere? Oh, is that just here?

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
