It doesn't look particularly convenient for pick up. I use these things several times a week but they're designed differently so you can wait for the train without going into the main parking area.

Is this only for drop-off?

Wow. I forgot about coaster breaks.

Hells?

Give me a wooden escalator and a jacobs-ladder-type arrival board and I will be happily occupied for hours.

Wait until you try to squeeze into the Carrefour Express.

How to start a family conversation. Lunch at Jack Mason's was yummy as usual.

It's a start.

New ambition in life is to open a brewpub called "Three Horrible Dogs".

Scoreboard with Thomas Müller score

Müller scores! Dan asks if we can go home now.

If this bell stops at 29 ...

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.

Digging Cincinnati a lot more than expected

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.

Drinking wine with younger son and making him listen to Nick Danger because someone has to pass this stuff along.

Wow. Last day of getting up at 5:10 am every day to drive to work.

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.

TBH, I just want a GHS for Bills of Lading.

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.

Inspired by @mark-carney.bsky.social and Canadians everywhere. We’re all fighting back on our home ice!

🐧 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.

Santa riding a fire truck

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.
