49. San Francisco doesn't sound too bad

Thu Nov 26, 2015, 02:55 AM

Nov 2015

I hate the cold weather, too, and look where I ended up--the German Rheinland. We're not going anywhere, either, but no need--the world is coming to us. Twenty people from as far away as Dallas, and as close as Austria, Frankfurt and even right here in Westfalia. It gets a little nuts, and at times too much for me, but it's a tradition now, and we can't escape it. Our friends from Dallas speak no German, and since I have always spoken German to the others, I have no idea how good their English is except for my wife and daughter (the other daughter is in Dallas this year). It won't be tranquil, but it won't be dull, either!
