Happy with a side of sad
The sad comes from the fact that the Spartans couldn't quite pull of the upset over the hairless nuts last night. But a comeback from 20 points down at least can be considered a moral victory when you lose by two with a chance to win as time expired. We get them in East Lansing on Saturday night and there will be a crew of people at our place for sure.
On a MUCH better note, ESPN has purchased NASN. I am sure that to most of you this means nothing, but to me, this is an unbelievable late Christmas gift because after two years of feeling incomplete, I am going to be able to watch Sportscenter in Germany. NASN is the North American Sports Network and the channel that is on 70% of the time in our house.

New look
We needed a change. Everything is the same, just a little different...
Off to Vienna tomorrow. Supposed to be in the 60's there over the weekend.
Lots of time right now on our hands since a HUGE German windstorm has knocked out our satellite dish AGAIN. We actually have had satellite service for one day since we got home from the US for the holidays. Apparently, our neighbors did some work 
on their home and "relocated" the mast that our dish sits on and now it is loose. Since this is a family program, I will not get into what I would like to "relocate" on our neighbor. Our landlord is being very good about things though and is cracking the German whip to get things fixed.
While we were without our beloved dish for the past few weeks, I was able to find a place on the net where we could watch the Price is Right for free! It was on every night at 7pm with a feed from San Francisco. Apparently some Chinese dude is bootlegging some broadcasts into China but anyone can access them. ESPN was on for a while, but disappeared. Hard to complain in Mandarin.
We are gonna miss Bob Barker when he retires later this year. No one could handle the Plinko stick like Bob. Rumor has it that the guy from the Nickelodeon show Double Dare back in the day (Mark Sommers I think) is going to replace him. Someone also said Ryan Seacrest. I can hear it now...
"And remember to have your pets spayed and neutered......Seacrest........OUT!"
We found a ton of classic Price is Right clips on You Tube that you must check out if you have the time as well.
Auf Wiedersehen
First Trip of the Year...Vienna!
We are jet setting for our first trip of 2007 this weekend. Looking back at our first trips of the last two years: 2005 - Paris, 2006 - Rome, and 2007 - Vienna! Not too bad considering that in the years to come we will probably have first trips of the year to exotic places like Chicago, Orlando, northern Michigan...but those will be nice, too. We leave tomorrow evening. Dan will stick around for a few days for work and I'll be in Spain next week for work.
We are looking forward to eating wienerschnitzel as it originated in Austria and a special chocolate cake called Sachertorte. It sounds very rich but when in Vienna....

Poland & Weekend
I traveled to Poland on Thursday and Friday for business and this was my first time visiting this country. I was able to eat real pierogies and taste some other very hearty food. Also drank some Polish vodka and brought some home for Dan. Luckily it is very warm around Europe so I did not experience the typically -5C and meters of snow. Probably the most interesting parts of the trip is that I became thankful that women have come so far in the work place in the US. At our working dinner of 22 people, I was the only female. During the entire two days of meetings, again, only woman. And when I entered a warehouse, there in the office, is a calendar of naked women. Welcome to Poland! Also found out that that the city we stayed in - Gliwice - is the city where WWII was started.
Had a good weekend - lots of get togethers with friends. Both Friday and Saturday evenings we had dinner and drinks with friends. Today we had brunch with a group of friends and helped one of them move. It was nice to see all of our American, Swedish, and Italian friends...
Happy birthday today to Grandma!
Hello Detroit
Remember me? I know it's been a while and since the last time we met I have burned some bridges but I am here to make it all right. Please look the other way from the fact that I lied to a Grand Jury and ruined my years at Michigan by taking the money that those cheap a'holes at MSU wouldn't give me.
I'm here now! So let's not look over the fact that I completely mailed in my last four years in the pros even though I was getting about 20,000,000 dollars a year to drag my sorry ass up and down the court and seem interested.
GO PISTONS!
