Not sure if it’s comparable, but we own a duplex where the plot is “ideally divided“ between the two units. The deed office and our banks find it totally legit.

Exclusive BlueSky content: THE HEIDSCHNUCKEN BABY VIDEO

We went on a walk through the Heide yesterday and THE HEIDSCHNUCKEN BABIES WERE OUTSIDE!

We do that too. We also have a noticeable shift in sales from afternoon to evening.

Ramadan 😃

It’s helpful (and fun) to have a topic you are interested in and want to understand. When I was learning German, I wanted to understand the nightly TV news.

Im Norden geht auch "Schietwetter".

I've become adept at googling active ingredients in US OTC meds and finding German equivalents. Here's a list of German meds with pseudoephedrine (Sudafed). www.apotheken-umschau.de/medikamente/...

We had that funeral announcements we sent in November being delivered in February. Turns out you have to put air mail stickers on the envelopes, even though air mail is included in the normal postage.

They can speed skate on the canals, but they aren’t wide enough for hockey. And the Dutch are too cheap to build indoor rinks.

Germany has since replaced the Familienbuch with the Eheregister. But our Familienbuch was hilarious. “The family name is Hanson, but the wife’s name under US law is Petersen.” 😜

My wife kept her name when we married in the US. That caused havoc when we moved to Germany, but we put a note in the Familienbuch that set it straight. Then when our son was born she took a hyphenated double name. So we still have different last names, causing confusion beyond end. 😃

Biathlon’s wild Olympic start: Infidelity, credit card fraud and reallocated medals One biathlete admitted infidelity. Another won gold months after stealing her teammate's credit card. It's been a week at Olympic biathlon.

Lesson after 40 years of marriage: you got what you got. It was good enough back then and it’s better than that now.

It's an over-generalization, of course, but it's funny how German and US coverage of the game focus on completely different events. Are they even covering the same games? 😃

We’re watching the Winter Olympics the German way, only watching events that could have some military application. So no figure skating, unless it’s a cover for spies.

L I N D S E Y • V O N N on Instagram: "Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tail, it was just life. I dared to dream and had worked so hard to achieve it. Because in Downhill ski racing the difference between a strategic line and a catastrophic injury can be as small as 5 inches. I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever. Unfortunately, I sustained a complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly. While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets. Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget. Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself. I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport. And similar to ski racing, we take risks in life. We dream. We love. We jump. And sometimes we fall. Sometimes our hearts are broken. Sometimes we don’t achieve the dreams we know we could have. But that is the also the beauty of life; we can try. I tried. I dreamt. I jumped. I hope if you take away anything from my journey it’s that you all have the courage to dare greatly. Life is too short not to take chances on yourself. Because the only failure in life is not trying. I believe in you, just as you believed in me. ❤️LV" 1M likes, 41K comments - lindseyvonn on February 9, 2026: "Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would.

I’ve always loved Lindsey Vonn, fellow Minnesotan who speaks German like a native (Austrian). Her thoughts on her catastrophic fall at the Olympics are inspiring. “I tried. I dreamt. I jumped.” www.instagram.com/p/DUjW2r8…

This morning my wife played me "When I'm 64", but the Udo Lindenberg version, which is a bit harder.

Our restaurants decided to hold separate year-end parties, so we have 4 parties to attend in the next 15 days. The first was tonight. Strategically all are before the start of Ramadan.

Funny how 19 points is a crisis for one club, but perfectly OK for another (especially the 19th point).
