So this week of March has been so far a very good week, a bit boring to be sure but good nonetheless. My training for my marathon is going well, I think I am over running my distances but I cannot be too sure, as I am judging mostly by time and not distance, as I have really no way of measuring distances accurately. I am hoping to scrape enough monies together to buy this little doohickey, as to better calculate run times, distances ect. I am very happy though that I am persevering but would be lying if I said I am falling in love with it. In the same vein of honesty tough, I would have to say that I am growing quite fond of my afternoon runs and who knows one day we might even see eye to eye and share a meaningful life together, but I digress. March in Baden-Württemberg is shaping up to be just gorgeous, with many sun filled days ,pleasant temperatures in the low 60s, and the ever pleasant springtime reminder of manure in the air. Work is ok, not really much to write about at this point but all seems to be going smoothly and they have graciously allowed me to leave early on Thursday to make the trip to Magdeburg, to participate in a birthday of a friend and hopefully a true picture of the DDR and the socialist experiment that took place so many years ago, here in Deutschland. I did forget to write a bit about my trip to Berlin, but in summary would like to say that fun was had by all and much celebrating and good food was eaten, including but not limited to Crawfish Étouffée, burritos, and wonderful hamburgers made by yours truly and the talented Mr. Chris Brase. Our little group of raggle-taggle Bremenites (and adoptions) are now in the planning stages of Easter weekend and I will be dammed if it is not the best Easter ever. So until this event, or hopefully before then I bid you all adieu and good luck with you endeavors today, I am going to get my fressen on with a dönner for lunch…
