The Snook mourns Oktoberfest 2020.


This week’s adventures in German bureaucracy: we both now have local mobile numbers; we’re registered at the town hall for our Tax IDs; and we’ve both been enrolled in health insurance!

(I’ve sent our mailing address and new phone numbers to a few family members so far, but please reach out if you need it.)


Aldi Süd sell this as “American”… but my fellow Yanks, have you ever seen such a thing?? (I mean, I 100% believe Americans would eat it. I was tempted to buy it myself!)



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
