An American in Germany: Day Two (The Mecca to Aldi)
We are at the end of Day Two, and Germany continues to impress. Today, I visited my first German castle (it was closed but looked very old and sturdy from the outside). We did eat at the little café beside the castle: I had the schnitzel with cream sauce. And it was...
An American in Germany: Day One (Ausfahrt)
Germany is six hours ahead of US Eastern time and one of the first things you learn about is jetlag. As I write this, it’s 2:38 am German time. We’ve already been to bed and gotten up. Having flown to the west coast, I thought I knew what jetlag was. I didn’t. Jetlag...
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Dear Diary, I am 40 years old, and today, I finally lost my virginity. No, not that virginity; today, I changed my first diaper. I know what you're thinking: You're 40 and you just changed your first diaper? It's hard to believe, I know, but I'm a guy. There have...

The Other Side of Me
My wife and I decided to go see UNCG and Miami play basketball last night. We knew it would be a tough game but after all, we're both Alumni, and we haven't seen a game all year (if you don't count watching it over the web). In fact, I haven't been to an actual game...
Bent All Out Of Joint
I'm thirty-nine years old and I still think of myself as twenty-something. I have a feeling this is what the old saying about being "young at heart" hints toward. As a result of my still feeling young, I sometimes drag my hulking frame out onto the basketball...
Milfs Abound
Stacy's Mom - Rachel Hunter. MILF. A term I believe was made widely popular by the movie American Pie . It means Mother-I'd-Love-to-Fornicate. The F doesn't really stand for fornicate. When I was sixteen, I had a thing for MILFs. I liked older women. ...
