BEHIND THE BOOKCASE . attic living in HEIDELBERG. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Halloween 2009 - Heidelberg Style. It's that time of year again. Each Fall I begin to hope that perhaps this year Halloween will pass us by without the last minute panic for a 'legit' costume or some near-crisis in generating 'a look.' This of course was not the year for such achievement and the troops did not fail to disappoint with their same-day need for a Halloween costume. Fun Halloween times with my people is where it's.

BEHIND THE BOOKCASE . attic living in HEIDELBERG. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Well I'd like to say a. Sumpin - we had. Much fun on our road trip from Heidelberg to Berlin (633km, about a 6hr drive).

Essentially, he's a geek who makes good music and the teenagers who still live with us asked, "Hey, can we go? Flower and Joe entrenche...
