I've seen U2 a half dozen times, but I don't think I've ever been as excited for a show as I was last Wednesday. Every single thing aligned to make for a perfect night - the weather was phenomenal, the company was sublime and our seats exceeded my expectations.

Reasons to rejoice
Never in my life have I ever used the word "rejoice," other than as a Christmas carol or hymn lyric. It hasn't been in my vocabulary.

Best of what’s around – Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds at SPAC

We’ve been back for about 10 days and there are some really positive impressions from our trip that I thought to share. How about one for each day we were there? 1. Roads. I don’t think I’d mind paying a 19% VAT if the money went into highways and other infrastructure. We traveled a few … Continue reading Things to love about Germany
