I just got back from a two-day mini-trip, visiting a friend over in Leuven: it was a good time, and I even got some research done at the library there (which is an awesome library).

Mainly we just ate some good meals together, drank some excellent Belgian Bier (I'm a fan of the trappists ales and especially Leffe Blond and Chimay Wit) and talked, catching...

So, here I am in Germany now ... settled, got a place to live, even a new hopeless romance ... enjoying life now ...

...but how does this site function, anyway? Can anyone clarify that for me? I see all you with friends and writing back and forth ... reminds me of Lao Tzu: "All the people are so shining bright..." And then there's me......

Happy birthday, baby! kiss

And the best way to get around here, I suppose, is go leave comments for other people and they'll come back and visit you and leave you comments ... and then people will ask to be your friend ... posting on the boards doesn't hurt either.

So how is Germany?

Hiya! Thanks for the letter. I am going through some crazy stuff, very time consuming. I will get back to you when things get calmer.

Cheers,

I've got a new blog out there smile

It's called 59 cents a pound wink

You can find it at:
http://59centsapound.blogspot.com/

There are a few pictures there now, and I'll be posting more, but it's not really for the pictures: It's mainly a practice blog for when I got to Germany next year (and when I'll set up a real one).
biggrin

Anyway, check it out and let...

Wow, isn't this lame...commenting on my own journal?

Anyway, I forgot to add that my next stop on my summer tour is --Ann Arbor, MI! My birth-town (despite what it says about Detroit; they used to always make the same mistake with Seger, Bob, that is...).

Anyway, I'm heading back there this Saturday by bus from DC for about a month-and-a-half, so let's get this party started...takin' it on the road, to A-squared, cruisin' around the diag, eating dogs at Red Hot Lovers, Reubens at Zingermans, working my butt off painting houses for about six weeks.

Also, will be in the Bay area and Monterrey June 16 through June 26, doing a conference (that's in Monterrey) on Asian and Comparative Philosophy (June 20-23), heading down to SLO--June 23-26--and then flying back to A-squared on June 26-27...doin' the red eye, like a rock star.

June 16-19 I'll be holding court up in Berkeley with Jason Maior and Jason Minor, philosophizin', drinkin', and ...well, you know. wink

I guess I'm just killing time this week: the other day I turned over my room (with most of its furnishings) to a friend who is going to sub-let from me until August, and now I've got a ticket to go to Florida for three weeks. I'll be staying in a house with a dog (and I'll have some spending money provided by the owners)...
