Look. Nary a mention of pr*stitutes today. Well, okay...after THAT nary of a mention of them today.

One recurring topic I WILL bring up today, though, has Loraine and I trying, after several years of being blocked in every single way, to head back to Europe again. Yup; we are shooting for a late September/early October jaunt over to Leipzig to get our feet wet again and to see RB Leipzig (hopefully) wallop Bochum FC.
Wish us luck.
As you may recall, we had two scheduled trips unscheduled by Covid back in 2020, and then sat through 2021 and (part of) 2022 waiting for various travel restrictions to be lifted. Well, those restrictions now have been lifted, and we've decided to jump back on the horse with a (fairly) simple trip that involves only one location, no rental car, and with the expectation that something unplanned probably WILL happen.
These days, I guess, you take what you can get.
This trip is actually almost identical to one of the canceled 2020 jaunts, even using the voucher we received from Deutsche Bahn to cover the cost of the train from Berlin (where we fly in) to Leipzig and back. The only thing that's different is that we're spending an extra day there and RB Leipzig is playing Bochum (instead of, I think, Dusseldorf, or whoever they were supposed to play back in the Before Times). Otherwise, Loraine just took the itinerary she had laid out from 2020, changed the dates to 2022, and printed it out again.
We'll see if it works out this time.
Normally, when we decide to take a trip like this, I have six to eight months to get ready for it by working ahead and getting everything set. Now, that'll be squeezed into three months. I don't think it'll be a problem, but it'll be interesting. And this will be interesting, as well. We fly back into Marquette the evening of Wednesday, October 5th. Less than 36 hours later—Friday, October 7th at 9 am—I'm scheduled to shoot the season premiere of “High School Bowl”.
Hopefully, the jet lag won't be too bad.
So if I start babbling about Germany a lot in the next few months, please forgive me. And think of it this way—at least I won't be mentioning pr*stitutes as much as I have recently.
