Shoe Throwing Contest!

After I got home from Dublin, I saw all kinds of news reports on the Iraqi reporter throwing his shoes at Bush. I’m amazed at how fast that man can move in the event of shoes being tossed.
I will note that afterword, I heard that the president said that it was one of the strangest incidents in his presidency. I’ll bet it ranks right up there with choking on the pretzel, falling down, and getting a black eye….
Anyhow, for your shoe tossing pleasure – there is a flash game so you can practice your aim….
and another as:
*disclaimer* I do not advocate using guns against anyone at any time, most especially NOT the president or anyone else out there. This is not a threat, nor should it be misconstrued as one. Thank you. *end disclaimer*

Successful Party Crashing

Sometimes in life, you have to get with the party. The Christmas Party, that is.
What do I mean by that? Well, I heard through the grapevine that the Company Christmas party in Dublin was going to be semi-formal, and at a 5 star hotel. Rather than going to the one here in Germany, I managed to get a flight, a gown, and hope to crash the party in Dublin – by bringing my work badge.
It worked!

Thanksgiving in Germany

Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated in Germany. This year, JTW is moving back to the states, but he decided to have a little get together and have a more traditional Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is one of those difficult concepts to try to explain to others who don’t celebrate it. My theory is that it’s all about the family and friends, spending time cooking together (laughing and joking) and then, having a feast of gluttony – and maybe watching the Macy’s Parade or football on TV.

As always, I made the turkey (this time it was just the night before) – and this year’s bird, despite being small by American standards – barely fit in the oven. It did, however, turn out beautifully.

Big Bird for Dinner

I took a taxi up with the bird and stuffing, and we headed off to the Christmas Markets. Then, we made all the sides, and the pies, and just had a great time.
All the pictures are up here, if you want to check them out. So, Happy Thanksgiving all, I hope yours was great!
