Cleveland native now living in Bremen, Germany.

I used to swim and run. I still do, I used to too
New level of Germaning unlocked: watched the local Christmas Tractor Parade. We saw 15 minutes of tractors and the whole route lasts 4 hours 😯

And somehow I'm a bit of a club fan. For the record, I can probably count on two hands the total number of times I've been to a club

While I listened to nearly 9000(!) different artists, 3 of my top 5 are some of my favorite artists and, while intentionally not listening to R.E.M. that much, I'm still in the top 0.4% of listeners

Top album - I like the blues but am no means an expert and was surprised this one
December 5, 2025 at 2:56 PM
Top songs - four of the five are ones I would not be able to identify the artist or the song. So this was a victory

Listening age - 30 years above my actual age

Top genres - kinda chalk for me
December 5, 2025 at 2:56 PM
Did it work? Let's run some stats

Nearly 700 different genres, that's something!

Hey buddy

This was my timeline...I guess it's gonna be a long month

Last Thanksgiving leftovers meal. You're looking at a grilled sandwich featuring: mashed potatoes, green bean salad, turkey, cheese, and cranberry sauce. The only thing missing was gravy to dip it into.

8:30am on Dec 1 and I was out - before I even realized I was playing.

When our son was about 3, he asked "is it Nussknackertag?"

Well, today is Nussknackertag in our house

This is for @lynnnothegger.bsky.social who likes to post about German ads improperly using English words. I know what they want to to convey, but I wouldn't use "juicy" or "crunchy" to describe cinnamon rolls

I see we're still doing Pope memes. Anyway, has he dropped this banger yet?

And then when we were walking to the car, it started snowing

Well #Werder may have lost today but I enjoyed this nice North German meal

Oh life

It's bigger than you
And you are not me

Yeah the Browns may stink but this uni combo is 🔥
Just need consistency with the socks

Chili, it was chili. I've wanted to try Over The Top chili where you smoke a bit meatball/patty over the pot on the grill, but the North German weather said "not today".

Any guesses what I'm cooking up today?

Time to make some homemade vanilla extract. Looks like we were a bit low on vodka - I'll have to pick some up later to top this off.
