Poland
I went to Kraków, Poland a couple of weeks ago. And I don’t know why, but I absolutely have not been able to jot down any thoughts on it. Maybe it was because the trip was so quick. Maybe my plans were so haphazard. Or maybe it was such a lopsided trip, with a heavy…

I wonder if Albrecht Durer was a Pepsi or a Coke guy
OK, I’m back. Went to bed at 8:00, Oakland time, and woke back up at 2:00, unable to sleep, so here I am, digging through the piles of trash from my luggage, trying to return the gadgets to their daily configuration so I can get back to The World by Monday. The flight back yesterday…

Nuremberg
Good to be back here. I have walked a lot and ate too much and just bought a hundred pounds of art books. OK, a bulleted list summary: The flight out was brutal. Couldn’t sleep on the plane, other than little half-hour naps here and there. Left SFO at about 8:30 PM after a mechanical…

The market for YA books about euthanasia is going to be huge someday, so get on that now
So I booked my trip to Germany this week, which was a huge hit on the credit card, but at least I figured out the dates and times. I’m going to be in Nuremberg for basically a weekend, and then Frankfurt for a week. Travel times screw with that a bit, though. I couldn’t figure…

Notes from a trip journal, London
[I wrote this on 5.17.2012 and it doesn’t really have an ending.] I’m in Nuremberg today, sitting in my hotel with a glass bottle of Coke and listening to Jimi. I’ll get to the first leg of my German trip (and the horrible travel day I had getting here), probably about the time I’m leaving…

I am back
I am back. My luggage is not. It might be on a plane from Frankfurt, Germany to here, or it might be sitting on some Lufthansa baggage conveyor somewhere in Germany. I will probably see it this weekend, and it’s no big deal, aside from the inability to wash two weeks of dirty laundry. We…

Berlin
It’s two in the afternoon, and it’s an absolutely wonderful day outside in Berlin, 79 degrees and sunny. And of course, I’m sitting inside, looking out the window and listening to the traffic at Potsdamer Platz. But I did walk about six miles today, so I don’t feel too bad about it. We had a…

Nuremberg
It’s my second-to-last day in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg, and it’s something like seventy degrees outside, but I’m in the hotel, looking out a huge window at the sun, listening to birds chirp, and editing a book I hope to get published by June, although I just realized that’s in eleven days, so given…

Back from Germany
I’m back. Pictures are on flickr (although I’m liking that site less and less the more I use it.) Not everything is captioned, and yes there are a lot of pictures that are blurry and fucked up. Museums with low light, no flash allowed, glass cases, and my piece of shit camera will do that.…
