Tiefgründige Gedanken eines unqualifizierten Denkers
A nice Saturday stroll on the waterfront in Bilbao. What a difference it makes when a professional designs your city’s new additions. For example, this footbridge:
It’s late so I’m just posting the eye candy (yes, you have to click “read more” because this is bandwidth happy candy).

“Stop bouncing your leg!” –Nora
“You don’t even know you’re doing that (squeaky mouth sounds), do you?! –My Father
Given the previous evidence, perhaps it wasn’t the best idea for Nora to buy us tickets to Mayumana for Christmas. Mayumana is an Israeli dance/percussion group of the same genre as Stomp. […]

Tonight we had a little get together at some friends’ house. Being greeted with a Budweiser and a menu, I couldn’t help but choose a bacon cheeseburger to keep the national anthem ringing in my head. Too bad the picture is crapissimo…
My Skype credit is hovering around $0.00 as I make some Christmas calls here in Spain. Yesterday, I attempted to put $10 on my account with my Visa card. Everything went fine until a “verified by Visa” prompt came up during the order process.

This guy almost missed his metronome train leaving from Hannover. You can probably imagine how punctual they depart.
Greetings everyone from Bremen Airport on this fine Christmas Eve!
Due to a misinformed, frizzy-haired tourist-info employee in Oldenburg, we are now in Bremen Airport waiting for our flight to Bilbao with more than three hours to spare. Thank you frizzy-haired-lady for the excellent information. Thank you for the luxurious four hours of sleep! […]
