I received the following birthday greetings this morning. Same as last year. I want to have fun with this but not be rude, insulting, etc. I'm now soliciting ideas on how to respond

Coming back from 2 goals down in Dortmund? Where have I seen that before? Great way to steal a point on the road from the team at the top of the table. Here's a "Positive Result" Haake Beck

I was told the dresscode is white and light blue. So I pulled this out. It's 90s coded so it fits...

Smoking some pulled pork today. One of the things I've imported from the US is heavy duty aluminum foil, which is key in this process.
The Weber Smokey Mountain doing its thing. Smells not included Two pork shoulders just before being wrapped. Smells not included

Watched this on YouTube earlier, a couple of comments: - the OTC medication in Germany is trash - Werder releases a new brand identity this summer: share.google/u083xfUPl6Ls... - loved the comment about Werder being a "swamp of nothingness"

A day late (I was preoccupied) but 7 points in 4 games and the third "Positive Result" Haake Beck in a row. And what a comeback! #Werder

I agree. Go cavs. And now is a good time to share that a few months ago I realized my books were unintentionally stacked like so

Coming out of the Dermatologist today and was reminded of that time I went viral. The contrast to this is that I got a follow-up procedure scheduled for February.

I had a conversation with someone about this recently. I said it was the smart play, and they said it was 100% against the spirit of the game. From a game theory standpoint, it makes total sense. Stop a definite goal for a chance of stopping a penalty.

It's hard to describe but as in Jacobelis vs Ohio, I know it when I hear it. To me, it is the most unoriginal, over-produced, bottom-of-the-barrel music. It's redeeming qualities are: - it's easy to understand as a non-native speaker/German learner - it's fun to hate-watch the many Schlager shows

So our 7yo insists on sleeping with a blanket. Even during this heat spell we've been enduring. And he sweats. A lot.
