I'm really enjoying being a part of CivMix! The site is still being developed, but I think you will find there to be some cool features, both in terms of content and interface, once the website is fully fleshed out. Here are my most recent posts over there. Why not give a read and some … Continue reading Catching up – CivMix & Silvia

It’s hot In the Heights
Hope you’re making it through this spell of humidity and heat. Greece was really hot, but there always seemed to be a breeze and the heat was dry, which made it different.

Maybe it comes from being raised by a German who presented my brother and I with our own shoe shining kits … Continue reading Going to the bathroom in Greece
If I told you I missed you, I was lying
Wait. Maybe that sounds harsher than I intended. It wasn’t actually a lie when I said it, more of an attempt to say the “right” thing. Because when we travel away from our family and friends and lover, we’re expected to tell them we miss them, aren’t we? It provides some sort of consolation in … Continue reading If I told you I missed you, I was lying
