Oh Stuckeyville, Where Art Thou?

We were up in Vermont a couple of years back and I fell in love with the state. It was beautiful and so ridiculously quaint that you wanted to start whittling something the moment you crossed the state line. We had a lovely time traveling the winding roads, ogling the beautiful fall foliage and sighing...

I’m Having a Mid Life Crisis and Didn’t Even Know It!

I have an embarrassing secret to share. The sad part is I didn’t even know it was embarrassing until recently. Ok, so last week my wife and I were watching Desperate Housewives (I am sad, sad, sad to report that this is not my embarrassing secret). One of the husbands on the show is going through...

That’s it Kids! Don’t Make Me Drive to Nebraska!

Child abandonment laws have been around for some time. They were initially created so that mothers of a newborn could leave their child at a hospital without facing any legal punishment. The hope was that this would give a safe option to teens who might be panicking over an unwanted baby. Last month...

The Beach is Back

We went to the beach yesterday. A good friend of mine rented a house right on the beach in Ocean City and invited us to come out for the day. I immediately accepted for a number of reasons. One, because taking a tired, cranky, one year old to the beach, without a house nearby, simply means that you spend...

I Got to be 22 this Weekend

Let me explain. A friend of mine was getting married in Chicago, but it coincided with my wife’s 15 year high school reunion. She really wanted to go to that and see how many of her classmates had been incarcerated in the intervening decade and a half, and we were both unsure about what to do with...

Life Goes on....

When I go on vacation, I try to really be away. I try to leave all of those things that distract me on a daily basis back at home, preferably kicked underneath the couch next to an old sock. I try to avoid email, and especially emails with titles like “Emergency Vacation Bible School Meeting!”...

5 Things I Learned About the Americans - by Friedrich!

Dear Readers, Hallo. I am Friedrich and I am a Swiss. Recently there was an article published about the Swiss which said terrible untrue things such as that we do not have a good sense of the humor. This is not true! I will tell a joke now to prove this. What do you get when you have the mix of a chicken...

5 Things I Learned About the Swiss: Continued

This is a continuation of the things I learned about the Swiss while visiting their stunningly beautiful country. Yesterday I discussed that the Swiss are very very healthy and in great shape, except for that lung cancer thing and that they don’t like kids… or at least my kids. Don’t...

No Being Sexy in Switzerland

One of the great things about visiting another country or even a different part of your own country is that you can learn a lot just by reading the signs. I have always had an affinity for odd signs such as the one I saw in Mississippi that said “Grossery Store.” Possibly accurate, but mainly...

5 Things I Learned about the Swiss

It’s always interesting to travel to a new country. In addition to the differences in the natural surroundings you learn a lot about the differences in the culture and, more specifically, the people that make up that culture. I think many people might argue that there is an American culture, but...

Houseswap - It's Like Wifeswap, but with a Lower Chance of STDs

We just got back from a two week houseswap last night. Ok, ok, I know what you’re thinking, and no, we didn’t redecorate each other’s living rooms with a budget of $1,000, or tell each other how to raise the other person’s kids (which, of course, I could have), or strand ourselves...
