Me totally boring DH by telling him the exact year every Bayern jersey being worn in this place came out. And also being sorry I only brought one.

SavannaBananas support staff staying at our hotel, which for Dan kind of makes up for our cab driver not being into sports. Almost all staff had bananas at breakfast; Dan mentioned this to some kids on the trolley and they nearly pissed themselves laughing.

Me: "Waterloo Sunset" is the most beautiful and evocative song ever. Youtube recommendations: immediately puts up Gerry Marsden.

You come by it naturally. I was the only person in the family that wasn't freaked out by the Hyatt Regency because blue dot on top.

This was one of my favorite paintings the Treasure Houses of Britain exhibit at the Smithsonian back in the 80s. I used to go down to see it almost every weekday at lunchtime.

Watching the opening ceremonies of the 2013 champions league and howling with laughter. I don't think this part was broadcast in the US.

Old is when you forget your computer glasses at home and you have to go home sick because you have a headache from staring directly into the fluorescent lights above you in order to see the screen.

I am really going to miss going to the Viktualienmarkt on a pleasant Saturday morning and wearing exactly the same shirt as everyone else there.

Bring back sentimental Victorian novels where people are constantly dying from milk-bourne diseases. Also potential for gaining 30 pounds in 2 months.

I put the question to the family today at Bunnyman Brewery, and the answer was, where hasn't this suitcase been? The ribbons are from a 2005 trip to the UK (MIL insisted) and it had already been dragged to a couple of other continents before then. Not bad for a fairly cheap suitcase.

🐧 Happy World Penguin Awareness day!

Here’s the Grade I listed Penguin Pool at London Zoo (Berthold Lubetkin and Tecton with Ove Arup, 1934), as painted by artist Alfred Thompson.

Sadly, the modernist icon hasn’t had any avian residents since the early 2000s.

Nearly 3 decades in this neighborhood, and I still haven't gotten a good snap of Santa on his annual ride through on his fire truck.

Looking at pictures of mail from previous centuries, I'm reminded of the old light-blue airmail letters that were also letter AND envelope. 2 of my best friends from home sent me a letter on one of these when I was doing AFS in Germany; it was covered in food stains from our favorite restaurant.

After months of looking at the listings for my soccer matches of choice and quietly moaning that I don't subscribe to any of those services, I've discovered that they are on Amazon Prime. Happily settled with a brew and #GERBIH⚽️

Ever since I saw a perfectly circular rainbow from an airplane window and missed the shot, I've tried to make sure I have a camera handy, just in case. This is sunrise, right before we arrived in Singapore last year.βœˆοΈπŸ—Ί

Sports radio talking about upcoming movie "Hannibal" and all I could think of was 2nd year Latin, when we gave him a standing ovation when he finally died.
