Guten Tag

Term three is getting started at NSW Public Schools. I've had some days of work, but not a completely full schedule like I had at the end of last term yet. I think things will pick up again shortly. 

A new frisbee season has started in our Wednesday night league, and Michael has joined for the first time. We have started off with a win under our belts, so that's always nice. 

Michael recently earned a promotion at work, which we will celebrate with a meal at Pinbone tonight. We were actually already planning on eating there already and found out about the promotion after the fact, but it's still a good retroactive excuse to plan a nice dinner out. A friend sent us an article about the restaurant, about how it's basically really good and loved by the regulars, but it's still not popular enough and is closing down within a month. It will be bittersweet if we we end up really liking the place. So it goes.

Right now my parents and brother are traveling to Munich for the wedding of a family friend. Michael and I were invited to this wedding, but could not make it all the way over to Europe this time, considering all the other travel we have this year. Living on the East Coast of the US and flying over to Europe is the equivalent of living in Australia and traveling to Asia, and vice versa. It's one of the pros and cons of being here. Asia is more accessible, but Europe is less so. Anyway, Munich is one of my favorite cities in Europe, so I'll be there in spirit. I will also be eating gummy bears, chocolate, obatzda, pretzels, brats, drinking golden brews at long wooden benches, and singing "99 Luftballoons" in spirit as well.
