Loads Of Goals. So Many Goals.

More goals then they can stand. Seriously. There were a hell of a lot of goals at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Sportpark (a smaller Berlin stadium for the ...

Vacation's Over

That's right, Hertha BSC is back to playing tomorrow. And not just another pre-season game, a game that mean something. After qualifying for Europe though ...

Doing things, going places...

I spose I've told you about my latest trip but you don't really know what I'm doing and where I've been living. The answers are pretty easy - I've been back in the office writing for Moneymagpie and loving it, and sleeping on whoever would have me

There's No Place Like Home

Well, I've been back home for weeks and weeks--months now. I'd meant to write a concluding blog shortly upon my return. But I didn't. I got busy. I backburnered it. Time slipped away. Finally, I write now. So, just in case anyone ever

Homesickness

. ...being lost is worth the coming home -Stones, Neil Diamond 1971 Gee I left the US sort of happy and looking forward to the trip, there was alot of "juice" in going rather than staying. However as someone pointed out, you can't expect to unders

This is the Last Day of my Vacation – oh, oh oh!

Yes, that title actually came to me today, accompanied by Sinead O’Connor’s voice, who would otherwise be singing “this is the last day of our acquaintance”. To try to end it with a bang would have been futile. How could I top the last 5 months?

Asheville, NC (Or: Appreciating Home)

I have lived in Asheville, North Carolina for twelve, thirteen years. Well, outside the city itself, in a more rural community, but it's the closest thing that can be called a city. Downtown is nice, but not that big. Other than that four-or-five-block ra

A Young Striker Had A Dream Bundesliga Debut Saturday

Unfortunately, it was Martin Fenin of Eintract Frankfurt. The 20-year-old Czech got a hat-trick at the Olympiastadion in a 3-0 victory over the capitol city side, wowing onlookers and winning new fans. So not exactly the start we were looking for. ...

Actual Games? No Way!

Yes way! Wow, it feels good to use this category again. It has been far too long. The Bundesliga's winter break is far too long for my liking, but it's back now! Instead of just speculating on how the new signings will be, we can actually see th ...

Orion and The Force

A bridge in Vang Vieng, Laos I've been home in the US for 6+ weeks now. I can almost taste the stagnancy creeping in on me ...

Exactly What I Wanted

Two Weeks of a New Toy: It took longer than the UPS tracking said it would, but finally I got my new ...

Greetings from...Sunny Mildura!

Well we obviously haven't left the country yet. Home with the folks in Mildura until tomorrow. Heading out for a quiet dinner with ...

Year Number Three

Day:2 (of 2008) It's been a few weeks of holiday insanity; all the family made it home and the house was bursting at ..

A Much Better Weekend

Note to self: remember to name the correct historical region of Germany in each match preview. The mighty Bayern Munich came to visit, and left with only a point. A fine result, I'd say, and very encouraging going into the winter break. Bayern may ...

Bavaria Approaches. For Real This Time.

Okay, so talking about Bavaria last time didn't much help. Clearly, the Franconians were upset that I'd called them Bavarian, and showed it by taking it out on Hertha. This time, though, the opponents are actually Bavarian. It's in their name. Also, ...

Toss Out Your Asprin

Tomorrow's visitors to Berlin are Bayer Leverkusen, a club based in the North Rhine-Westphalia region (like so many others, as I like to say). If their name sounds familiar, you're probably thinking of your medicine cabinet. They were formed in 1904 ...

Early snow and late goal

I wasn't shocked when I read that there was a late goal scored in the Hertha Berlin game on Saturday. That's fairly common. What was a pleasant surprise was that the late goal was scored by Hertha. Also, that it was scored by Andre Lima. And it was ...

Hannover 96 Preview

Hannover 96 are, for whatever reason (snazzy red uniforms?) in 5th place. Hertha BSC Berlin, on the other hand, are in 10th. There are 5 points separating them. That's not insurmountable at this point in time, particularly in the ...

Home ~ Trip to the the U.S.A.

I am flying back home, to Butler, Pennsylvania, I say. But where is home? I have lived in Germany for so long. Is there really ...

The Good Life

We’re back. The flight home was nice. Well as nice as a trans-pacific flight could be I suppose. I could tell we were on the ...

Hong Kong, and Home

I was in Beijing and my flight home was from Hong Kong, so I skipped the train this time and flew to Hong Kong for ...

Too Much Time...

Mr. Annie Timmerman

Today, Annie and I were exploring Put-in-Bay on our Honeymoon/continuation of the Where am I Wearing? quest and I experienced a perfect storm of this-is-weird-moments: ...

One Wedding, One Honeymoon, One pair of shorts

Saturday Annie and I tie the knot in my parents’ backyard in front of 300 family and friends. On Sunday the quest/honeymoon continues. ...

Happy Birthday

Batman... Superman... Bad Ass Squinter Man... and all of the other identities of my big brother Kyle.

Crazy? Maybe.
