As we say in Franken in moments of exasperation: “Almächt!”
I’ve noticed a certain trend in my blogging, in which my entries skip over very fun and exciting times of life because I am simply too involved in the momentary to sit down and attempt to reflect. I need to work on my blogging discipline.

I’m watching Stranger than Fiction for the 2nd time this week. It is one of three DVDs that I own here in Germany, but it is becoming one of my favorite films of all time. It is so simple, but funny, clever, and meaningful.
It’s funny though, because watching this movie transports me from my apartment here [...]

I shall not stare aimlessly at facebook for an hour on end. It shall be used to communicate, not to discract.
I shall not turn up my iPod simply to drown out the person sitting next to me on the bus. It shall be used to inspire, not to distract.
I shall write more. I shall journal [...]

When was the last time that I received a Christmas Card from a friend, which said “It was a great year,” and then went on to discuss all of the things that the person purchased over the last 12 months.
Funny how when we truly take a moment to analyze what has been important to [...]

Without watermelon, without hot dogs, without Auntie Eva’s cracked tennis court, without fireworks and without family…I celebrated my country yesterday.
Through Matt and Heather, I was invited to a 4th celebration for American ex-pats in the area, and I was shocked to show up to the park and see about a hundred men, women, and children, speaking my [...]

I got to speak with Zach last night for the first time in a really long time. Hearing his plans to go hiking with my Dad for four nights this weekend in the Never Summer Wilderness made me miss my home and my family. This is something good that the Kreeger men enjoy doing together, [...]
Careworn

It’s 6:30 on Saturday morning, and a young man comes in and out of consciousness as he slowly sinks lower and lower on the slippery pleather underground seat. Wearing a black beanie, a dark hoodie, blue jeans and worn Vans sneakers, he could be miscategorized as another one of the city’s clubbers, sleepwalking home from [...]
A place can change over time. Colors fade, lose their distinction. Things get misplaced or forgotten. Like the white castle in the background of my photograph. Of course the wooden bridge in the foreground with the awesome octagonal tower rising out of the swift river has stayed with me, but that white castle seemingly camouflaged [...]
Coming to Blossom

The bellowing of various church and cathedral bells around Lauf declared six o’clock, causing us to pick up our pace as we walked home yesterday evening from the train station. We had just been to Nürnberg for a couple of hours; me to teach my only class of the day (godsend), and Nick to hunt [...]
