Here is a write-up on Coach Clark. Woke up to some emails from college friends sharing memories, bringing joy and tears. He influenced many people and will be missed. swimswam.com/todd-clark-h...

I just found out my college swim coach died yesterday and it's hitting me....

Explore something new? Maybe something new that's old? #Werder

We took down our tree and decorations yesterday. Two observations: 1) I feel a draft from the windows where we put our tree in front of 2) the humidity level has decreased significantly. This is a good thing

This thread is amazing. Watch out for Brits and Italians catching strays.

A little Soul Asylum as bumper music? Alright

We caught this earlier and wasn't sure exactly what happened. Great insight and commentary from Ken here about the nuances of racing.

And the team that lost to the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago is the 4 seed?

And the kids have another day off tomorrow because of the weather. It hasn't snowed since Friday and it's going to be over freezing tomorrow...so

Wait, the Panthers are hosting the Rams?

Amen!

Totally agree. An hour and a half to two hours is the sweet spot for movies. Make a tight story with no bloat.

Increasing my integration as I saw a German movie in the theater last night - Der Held vom Bahnhof Friedrichstraße. It's a comedy, so while there were things I missed, I got most of the movie. youtu.be/9N-z2vtUBZs?...

Third (and hopefully final) round of shovelling in the past 24+ hours complete. Now for some coffee and thinking of home

I just saw those Dortmund kits from last night. Listen, I'm not a fan of the minimalist trend in uniforms over the past 5 years or so and would love to see it trend to the more garish styles of the 90s, and I also appreciate them taking a risk...but that's not it

Schade. I was hoping for a snow game tomorrow. #Werder

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Time to go back outside

The 7yo has my headphones on, is jamming to Low by Flo Rida (and singing along) while doing Legos. It's good to be a kid

I may have been too quick to post. The snow keeps coming down and all work I did earlier has been covered. Three more hours of work and then I'll go back out for round two.

In other things, we had our worst trivia performance last night. Granted there were only two of us, we finished 4 points out of first, and it's a league set up (best 4 out of 6 scores), so we are in it. We just need some Ocean's Eleven recruitment: - Harry Potter expert - Current music expert

So it's after 8am, I did My neighborly duty (that's a story for another time) and shoveled our shared driveways & walkways for an hour. My wife asked if it is bad as they said. Me: nah, this would be a normal snow in Cleveland. Apparently there have only been two bus reroutes in Bremen.

This was a challenge as I saw multiple connections for clues. It's fun to actually figure out the purple connection rather than by default Connections Puzzle #942 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨

Bremen is "closed" tomorrow but the kids will do virtual learning. This is an odd thing as my daughter began school in '21 at the end of the pandemic. This will be her first time doing school from home.

Unexpected social media crossover this morning - I saw a mutual on here comment on a LinkedIn post.

Being an American in Europe is an odd dynamic - in the mornings there is the trickle of content from overnight. I finish work at 3pm, which is when the East Coast is getting their day started and like Oliver said, the content really kinda ramps-up after that.

So we're expecting a big winter storm in the next few days - 15cm of snow and people are getting all up in arms. That's not even 6 inches. I'm from Cleveland, that's, normal? Anyway, we got a message from school that it's up to the parents to decide if the kids should go to school or not.

I'd take him in Cleveland in a heartbeat

Very accurate assessment here. The second kit should've been denim. Have I grown apathetic of the USMNT? Yes Am I not feeling especially proud of my country these days, especially living abroad? Yes Will I still buy one? Yes

Oh man The Goonies is on. And in German!

I see @drewmagary.bsky.social was in Germany over the holidays. Meanwhile I started Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride over the weekend and received a letter from @williamfleitch.bsky.social in the mail today

Rene doing the Lord's work here. The Browns have had 4 winning seasons since 2000, meanwhile the Steelers have had one losing season in that span...

Back in the office Two plus weeks without the heat Baby it's cold here #MorningHaiku

This is one of these "quality of life" differences that would make moving back to the US real tough. Oh, and the 30 days of vacation... And the socialized health care...

So German peeps, I'm thinking of dipping my toes into Kleinanzeigen - anyone have any tips?

Hey it's Top Ten Draft Pick and New Coach season for the Browns

And in the swimming world, top swimmer transfers to same school as boyfriend... swimswam.com/bella-sims-o...

Browns season finished End high with two victories Drafting for next year #MorningHaiku

Listen, I'm no expert and my expectations are low, but Sanders has virtually no offensive weapons and has shown enough to maybe give him another shot next year

The record-breaking sack for Myles Garrett:

Dude has been double-teamed and schemed against for the past 3 games. Happy for him and the lone bright spot in another dismal Browns season

Myles Garrett!

Interesting, the Browns have no offense and yet will be leading by 2 heading into halftime
