This is a collection of photographs from the snow in Dublin between 12/21/2010, which was all melted (due to rain) on 12/28/2010. I hope you enjoy some of the magical memories from my White Christmas. Jacqui in the middle of heavy snow feeding bread to the hungry swans. The pond only had a hole in [...]

The storms have gone, but the travel chaos hasn’t left yet. Unfortunately, the buses aren’t running – and neither are many trains. The kids at one of the neighboring apartment complexes have a sense of humor – and built a snowman at the bus stop. Although – it’s possible that it’s not a snowman – [...]

Still Snowing – one happy dog.

Winter is my favorite time of year - not because of Christmas, or New Years - because somehow, when it Snows, it's easy to Believe in Magic.

Better Late than Never…(at least according to the dog)

The Weather this weeknd is supposed to be a Polar Hurricane. It's gonna be bad. So bad, in fact that it's to be called the storm of the epoch. No really. I mean it. I'm not just pulling your leg.... I'm totally serious. It's going to be travel chaos, once in a lifetime storm... Or is it?!?

December 10th, my company hosted a black tie (I'm one of the ladies in red) Christmas party with the theme of "Casino Royal". While some people would say it's a bit extreme cost wise for those attending, I personally spent ~200 euro for my dress, shoes, makeup, and everything. For me, that once a year cost of the outfit and really getting to go out on the town looking super-de-dooper. There's plenty of pictures up on my flickr site that you can peruse through if you're signed in and one of my contacts.. Otherwise, Here's a few pictures for you...

Christopher Street Day

One of the biggest parties in Berlin every year is the Gay Pride Parade, also known as Christopher Street Day. Christopher Street Day (CSD) Parade is an enormous outdoor Gay / Lesbian Pride Party which has taken place every summer in Berlin since 1979. The festival is named after the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York City which was directly caused by a police raid on a gay bar on Christopher Street.
