It took me a while, but know I’m back working and writing, 3 weeks later than I was planing. Finally we settled down in Germany, got most of the stuff organized and my computer is running on full speed now with a nice Intel Core2 Quad, 8GB RAM and an additional new 1 Terabyte... 

Saturday was our Goodbye Party, lots of friends came by and had a last shot and beer with us. It was a fun night, as far as I can remember. I got some great pictures from Efrain, Elston, Jane and Jess. My pictures turned out very, very dark. You barely could see anything except... 

Last Saturday I surprised my girlfriend Gretel with a weekend trip to Las Vegas. She has never been there, so before we go back to Europe, I thought I should take the opportunity as long we live in the States. She thought we are going to an event of my company and we would pick... 

On Saturday we went to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Greenville. It was great, fun and hot as you can see on the pictures I got sun burned. Except one time when the police blocked the whole road for no reason. Oh no, they had a reason. Too many people are having fun. What... 

My Ma and my brother with his little family visited our home the last 2 weeks. Before we move to Europe, end of April, my brother took the last chance to visit me here in the States. My Mom liked it so much, when she was here 4 year ago, that she traveled with them. Unfortunately... 

Gretel and I had a fabulous weekend in Vancouver with day trips to Victoria and Whistler. We got a really cheap flight from Dallas to Vancouver for just $215. It was just gorgeous. The weather was gift from heaven, everybody was very nice and we saw a lot nature. Our trip didn’t... 

On Sunday we had a little Super Bowl Party at our apartment. We had about 15 people over. It was really fun. Having enough cold beer, delicious pizza and chicken wings round up a great game, which was really good, especially at the end. I was for New York since they were the Underdog. ... 

After a loooong year I was back in Germany again, it was great to see my family and friends after such a long time. Even the time went really fast, I enjoyed the two weeks a lot. The first two days I was in Frankfurt and stayed at my old good buddy Bernd. We went to the Frankfurt... 

After we were the last at the reunion party at school we went with our old teacher to Pillhuhn, a cool bar not far away from school. While playing Fussball we had couple Tequilas and some beers for our thirst. I also met an old mate from work after 5 years, what a surprise. Around... 

On December 28th we had our 10th year reunion of my class. It was absolutely great to see all my old buddies since a long time. And almost everybody was there. Most of them didn’t really changed, except many of them have family now, crazy. We already start drinking beer on...
