Does Anyone Else Have This Fear?
I very rarely cook pork, not because of any kind of religious reasons, but because I am a hypochondriac descended from a long line of hypochondriacs. OCD is the name of one of our strands of DNA. They knew I was a McCarthy when at the age of 3 I thought I had cancer. I … Continue reading
Car Renting In Germany
So the trip this long weekend was awesome and the break was needed! (which did not impress Oma at all. When she found out that I was renting a car with a friend for the full 4 days, and even worse – that Patrick was not invited, I was told that if the Easter bunny … Continue reading

A Desire For Spanish
I love Spanish. I think my favorite language is Russian. Ok I know my favorite language is Russian. But it is followed closely by Spanish. German is in there somewhere, but it takes a distant third.
