Go-Karting in Germany… Sebastian Vettel, HELP!
Last weekend we had a neighborhood outing. The guys scheduled a private session at a nearby go-kart track (Kart Arena Moenchengladbach). When Kay told me about it, my initial response was, “What makes you think you’ll be able to attend?… Why not me?” With a new baby and toddler at home, I don’t get out ...
Secret Agent? Paparazzi? Or just plain trouble?
Camera one? Or Camera two? I personally prefer the Hollywood sunglasses look over the paranoid, “Crap! You got me!” look. I wish I could say these were stealthily-taken photos obtained by the enemy during my American spy operations in Deutschland. I’d even rather say these were candid pics taken during heartwarming-Kodak moments abroad. Unfortunately, these ...
Motorway Emoticons

When you see one of these signs… It means it is limited-time parking and you put the parking disc in your dashboard window signaling what time you parked in your spot. ...

Wagons – The German Sleeper Car
I used to joke about how much I hated minivans and made it a point to steer clear of them on the road. My motto was, “They drive too slow and erratically because they are paying more attention to the kids in the back than what’s happening on the road.” I used to tease a ...
Die Autofahrt…
I was going to first entitle this article, “Das Auto Fährt…” But since Kay corrected my original spelling error (not shown here), he came up with the above title. Which I think is even more AWESOME. As Americans we don’t see “Die Autofahrt” but instead…Die Auto Fart. They are really stinky. (And please, unless you ...
