I was in Washington DC for the occasion of O. Eric’s 40th birthday, which entailed excellent wine and a good time all around. Along the way, we dropped by the cherry blossom festival.

Sunday, April 6th, 2008Meet me in Stockholm – for a pillow fight?
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008It’s a good thing I packed winter clothes: rumors of Stockholm’s early Spring are much exaggerated. But at least there’s Dilmah.
Throughout the week leading up to Easter, the weather was mercurial. The thermometer never dipped much below freezing, but there was enough wind-chill to cut through several layers of clothing.
The weekend in Stockholm was interesting. I went to the historic museum, the national museum, and… a pillow fight outside the central train station.
On the way back to Frankfurt, my Lufthansa flight was designated “City of Würzburg” – nice!
Bamberg
Saturday, March 15th, 2008“Oh, you like beer and you’ve been to Germany? Did you visit Bamberg?” Fine – it’s only an hour from Würzburg; I’ll go.
It was worth the trip.

Location… Location? Location!
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Culture shock! I taught a developer class in NYC this week, near Wall St. This was my first trip since coming back from Thailand. Let’s see… prices are about 100x higher, and I missed the upgrade on both legs. That’s it – I’m goin’ back to Thailand.
Oh wait – wasn’t it 95-F and 100% humidity, there?
Anyway, I stayed around the Fulton Fish Market area. Too bad the market closed down about a year ago – but it still made a nice change from mid-town.
