Frankfurt, Germany

Just made it to Frankfurt, Germany.  Sitting here grabbing a McDonalds burger in the airport.  It seems weird being in a different culture again, even if I’m only seeing Germany from the airport.  Being yanked from one culture to the next is rattling. Walked outside and it’s cold.  They had snow here yesterday.  Where I …

Not Enough Time (energy?) to Blog Correctly

Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My. Sorry for the dearth of content recently.  It’s not because things aren’t happening, they are.  So many things, yet not enough time to write them.  I have a mental list going of things I want to write about (like part of a cows tail that got disconnected from the …

Blogging Again!

After taking a break for the summer, I’ve decided to pick blogging back up. However, this time I’m taking a slightly different tack. In the past, Simplefollower blog was not advertised much, it was more of an experiment…  Now it will be more public. My writing goal is to post at least once a week.  …

Guy Girl Relationship Advice, Best of Boundless
