Tales From The Ansbach Area
It’s about time that I get back into the swing of things. I’ve been away for far too long. It wasn’t about lack of interest, but getting things back to normal after last years fiasco. I’m feeling pretty good now, and raring to go. I need to do a lot of updating to this machine [...]
It’s been a while, but I’m finally home. I went to the Uni-klinik in Erlangen for the heart bypass surgery and so far things seem to have gone well. As I wrote before, it’s scary but necessary. Now I know why. I arrived at the hospital, and got checked in. It went well, and I [...]
Almost two weeks ago, something scary happened to me. We were coming home after our usual Thursday night dinner, and I just didn’t feel right. I thought it was indigestion. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I got into the house, and went into the bathroom to take see if I could get rid [...]
I thought I’d write a long story about this, but I’ve decided to make it short. 40 years ago, I married a wonderful woman. Jane was the answer to everything.

I finally heard from Shopping-Essentials. The said that they had canceled my membership and were going to refund $19.95. Because VISA had already given me credits for 3 payments I really didn’t see the point. But what I did do was write a reply to them. Here is the text of what I wrote. While [...]
We made it! It was a good trip up and back. But I really think that if next year isn’t the last, it will be soon. When I first started going, all the halls were full. This year, Hall 1 was closed, and a lot of the areas in the halls that were open had [...]
Nez and I are off to Cebit in Hannover again this year. It’s something that I really look forward to. One of the things that I get to do is check out all the new hardware. Last year we saw some of the newest in cooling, cases, and motherboards. So that’s basically what we’ll be [...]
I just finished reading a story about a new virus that is starting to make the rounds. I also got another message from a friend telling about a different virus that is supposed to also be making the rounds. I had to laugh at both of them. The new one is making the rounds especially [...]
