A good friend of mine sent me this story today. I thought you all might enjoy it...CoffeeA group of alumni, all highly established in their respective careers, got together for a visit with their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of work and life in general. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon

What have I been doing this summer? Well, I certainly haven't been doing a good job of keeping my blog up to date. The weather's been too nice!Thursday nights are volleyball night with the CVL - Clawson Volleyball League. Is it a "real" volleyball league - not in the traditional sense. We're the management and the players, well Jeff's management and Dina and I are the weather girls, but every

The weekend of June 16th and 17th was Race Weekend 2007 for me, starting off with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday and ending with the Nascar race at Michigan International Speedway.On Saturday morning, I awoke at 7am to get ready for the race for the cure. Chantele, Danielle, Matt, Jose and I were all meeting at the Condo in Ferndale to carpool to the race in Downtown Detroit. I

What a great weekend!Please excuse me, but I'm going to do a little posting out of order - can't find the pics to Race Weekend 2007 (last weekend), but since I've got some great music going right now and need to wind down a bit after the long drive home, I'm going ahead with the post from this weekend.Friday, the weekend started off just right as I got out of work a little bit early and cruised

Over the years, Detroit has played an important role in music history. The city is the home to Motown, is the birthplace of Punk and Techno, has some jazz roots and then there's Detroit Rock City.Some of the more famous artists coming out of the 313 include: The Temptations, Stevie Wonder (he's actually from Flint-town), Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5 although from Indiana they recorded on the

It felt great to be back on the court again! (even though you could certainly tell that I hadn't been there in a while!) Afterwards, friends and I headed to Ted's for dinner, a beer and the Pistons game. It was a tight game, but the

Well, my recent adventures have brought me to the Mile High City and let me tell you that Denver rocks!The view of the mountains at the airport was about enough to bring me to tears. After I arrived, I hopped into my little Chevy Cobalt rental car, which by the way was definitely not designed for anyone 5' 8" or taller, opened up the moon roof, put the windows down and headed into the city for

Public Transportation in Detroit? A likely reality? I don't know about that, but there certainly have been some developments in that arena and some more talks going on in the area. Personally, I am a big fan of public transportation and think it is important to the future of Detroit. Although, maybe I am a bit of a hypocrit as there are some public transportation options in the city of Detroit

Let's rewind the clock a bit here and go back to December 2005. One of my friends was throwing a party at Sole Sisters, one of my favorite shops in the RO and probably my fav shoe place. (Here's a link to some more shopping in the RO. Be sure to check out Flair, Incognito and Shine! As I like to say...Shop Local when you can.) Anyways, what could be more perfect - a bunch of girls dressed for a

Here's a little something that I hadn't heard before and a little fun term of the day for you....The Super Bowl Indicator:An indicator based on the belief that a Super Bowl win for a team from the old AFL (AFC division) foretells a decline in the stock market for the coming year, and that a win for a team from the old NFL (NFC division) means the stock market will be up for the year.

Last week, I went to Washington D.C. to visit Mike & Erin and my friends Yulia and Amanda. I had such a wonderful time on the trip. Yulia and I went to the zoo and got to see the panda's being fed, Amanda and I saw the Hope diamond at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Yulia, Amanda, Olia and I had a wonderful Saturday evening filled with cocktails and some dancing at the Black Cat,

I know that I am a little bit late with this one, but given all that has happened during the past year, I felt that a year in review was appropriate. How was 2006? Well, originally I started this post with the title, "2007 - A Year in Review." So much happened in 2006 and it went by so quickly, I almost forgot it happened.....or maybe that's the German beer talking.....just kidding.My MBA

Which way do I go? I was asking myself that question a lot during 2006! I also saw these signs quite a bit. Living in Switzerland was incredible! I finally had access to all the hiking I could ever imagine and I was able to hit the trails quite a bit during the year too!FriendsI met some wonderful new people at the beginning of 2006 and I was lucky enough to be able to continue to develop

Hi Everyone? Sorry for the posts being so erratic - no, I wasn't missing, just traveling the U.S. and looking for jobs. In case you are wondering though, expect the blog to continue.

If we took a holiday!?! We did take a holiday and it was so nice.This past weekend, about half of the MBA class rented a chalet in Saas Fee for a little celebration and some skiing. Saas Fee is located in Wallis near Zermatt and the Matterhorn, the tallest Swiss mountains are found in this region. I had never been to this region and am so glad now that I have. Saas Fee was absolutely gorgeous -

December 13 - the last day of classes!Yes, ladies and gentlemen I am done with my MBA coursework! It is hard to believe that it is over already. It is sort of a hectic time right now - getting ready to move, graduation, last minute trips, etc. etc. I am sure more posts regarding my last year, lessons learned, new friends, trips, observations, etc. are to follow.Celebrating the end of the year

For those of you that didn't know, this is what a cootie catcher looks like. On each of those tabs, a color is written. My colors: Maroon, Gold, Detroit Blue and Hot Pink. The player picks a color and then the flaps are moved to open up the catcher to spell that color. Inside the catcher are numbers. You then pick a number and the flaps are moved the amount of times for the number that you

Being overseas, there are a few traditions from home that we have tried to recreate so that our classmates can experience them (fried chicken - although I don't who of us that is a tradition for, Halloween, St. Patrick's Day - The Swiss don't know what they are missing on this one, etc.) and I think it is also fun to have a little taste of home every now and then.What's the biggest holiday

Ok - up front, I will warn that this is not a short post and I would normally apologize, but I have been training for four months for the Athens marathon and ran for 5 hours yesterday - I'm tellin' my story as is, the un-cut, slightly-edited for TV version.

Well, this is it. The big weekend and the big race. Tomorrow, I head to Athens, Greece and will be running the Athens Marathon on Sunday. I am both excited and nervous. For the next two days, my focus is really on getting some rest and getting hydrated.The Course Map - And yes, for a marathon, that's a lot of hills!26.2 miles.

After spending all of yesterday, the most gorgeous day of this fall season, indoors working on group projects, I was bound and determined today to go hiking. When I awoke, however, still lying in bed, I could hear it raining outside, so I snoozed for about the next 45/50 minutes. Deciding that I should finally get up, I had another look outside - no change in the weather.I think this weather is

Well, this is it….another year older. Quite a special birthday too….not only am I another year older, but I am celebrating my birthday in Switzerland…and I got to celebrate last weekend in Chicago too!

What gap exactly are we talking about?"Mind the Gap" was the message over the sound system when exiting the trains in the Tube. This past weekend was a 3-day weekend for me, so I headed off to the UK to visit London. What a trip it was! I saw quite a bit and got a few tastes of home while I was there. London is a fabulous city.During the trip, I realized something, I have been gone for a long

The Parthenon Galleries in The British Museum I believe, more of the Parthenon is actually in London now than in Greece. According to the history of the exhibit from the British Museum, permission was actually given for removal of the items from the Parthenon and it is a good thing that the British actually do have so much of the original Parthenon as the Greeks didn't take proper care of what

Well, I decided to do a very touristy thing and I took a hop-on, hop-off tour of London. Only being in town for two full days, this was a great way to see the city and to learn a little bit about it's history. The tour guide, we will call him Mr. Big Red Bus, was British and had that wonderful British sense of humor, which was accentuated by the fact that he had probably been telling the same

Over the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to see many incredible and famous works of art in person - pieces by DaVinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and the list goes on from the very beginning of times to modern art. Of all the different works, styles, mediums, etc. that I have seen, I must say that photography and ancient Greek & Roman sculpture are

That's right, London is calling and I will be answering that call tomorrow night. A few months ago, I realized that my official stay here in Europe would be coming to an end shortly and I freaked out, realizing that there was just too much that I wanted to see and do. So, I thought about where I wanted to go still and quickly got online to see where I could go on the cheap.Ryanair is a discount

Last week, my parents and Jeanne and Marg came to visit me here in Europe. What a great time. It was sooo good to see them and to be able to show my family where I lived in Duesseldorf and where I live in Switzerland. We had quite a whirlwind trip, visiting Duesseldorf, Cologne, Heidelburg, Garmisch, Schaffhausen, St. Gallen, Munich and Rothenburg. Below are just a few photos and I am sure

Castle in Heidelburg. Heidelburg is a great little German town, I would recommend it as a place to visit. Rhein Falls in Schaffhausen. Somewhat of a joke amongst the Americans in our class as these are the largest falls in Europe! I will give them some credit though, a lot of water passes through there. Neuschwanstein Castle - construction was stopped on this castle only around 120 years

I must say, I have had one hell of a summer. During the last weeks of my internship, I had to (just had to) return to Barcelona to work with some of the staff there. A flight to Barcelona Sunday morning was about 600 euros cheaper than a flight Monday morning...hhmmmm....spend Sunday in Germany or spend Sunday in Barcelona???ding ding ding....we have a winner and Barcelona it is! For this

And I'm not talking about March Madness or your 16th birthday. I am talking about the 16 miles that I ran today! I feel awesome - mentally. Physically, I am going to be honest with you....I am pretty sore. I was going to go to my favorite breakfast place this afternoon to treat myself to my last German breakfast, but that would involve walking down four flights of stairs from my apartment and

So, I am sitting at the internet cafe, taking in the stench of stale cigarette smoke, but rejoicing because the USB drive on my computer actually works, when I hear the sounds of a marching band slowly approaching. Sure enough, a minute later, a marching band walks by the cafe. When I say marching band, I don't mean a high school or college marching band, I mean a group of adults who in their

While I like my German, I have forgotten just how beautiful the Romance languages sound. Being in Spain, has reminded of this fact. And although the Spanish is beautiful, nothing compares to Italiano. Spanish vs. English PronounciationLet's take a simple, boring word that came up during the course of my day today:Colgate-PalmoliveEnglish Pronunciation: Coal-Gate Pall-Mall-IvSpanish

So, I have always somewhat been a believer in signs. For example, when my parents gave me "the necklace Chantele's parents got her in Switzerland" when I was in 3rd grade, maybe that was a sign that I was destined to move to Switzerland for a year. I don't know, maybe. But what kind of a sign do you think it is that I have my Visa credit card number memorized and don't need the actual card for

Sorry for all of the posts at once and for dropping off the face of the earth for a week. This last week at work was pretty busy and I didn’t have a chance to make it to the internet café. I have been working a little bit in the evenings, so it has been difficult to mail or post and the internet cafe is not the greatest. The picture posting feature is not working very well at this time, so I

So, today was the toughest training run that I have ever had. Saturdays are my long day and today’s run was 12 miles. Two weeks ago, I ran 10 miles. Today was the longest run of my life.I knew going into it, that I wasn’t really physically prepared for it. I wasn’t hydrated well enough and I hadn’t eaten very well since my weekend in Brussels. I set out at around 9am, with my GPS unit, and

A high priority for me this week was ordering a new GPS unit. Now here was the big question – do I upgrade? Or, do I buy the same unit? The Forerunner 201 that I had only accepted 110V of electricity for the charger so I had purchase a transformer. The 205 didn’t require a transformer, is somewhat less bulky and has a more sensitive GPS signal. Do I ship to myself in Germany? Do I ship home

I’m not really sure if “marathoner” is a word, and I don’t really like it, but one of my books uses it.It’s official. I am running the Athens Marathon in November. I registered last week. I wanted to put a picture of my registration confirmation up on my blog, but I still haven’t received the confirmation email yet. Neither has Lance.

So, when I say we ended the evening by sampling some of Belgium’s famous beers, what I really mean is we ended the evening at about 4 am after sampling some of Belgium’s famous beers and going to a dance club. I had a really fun night, it was very hard peeling myself out of bed the next morning…I was also very happy that I hadn’t postponed my run the day before. Sunday, I was going to head on to

Last weekend, I decided to venture outside of Germany and explore Belgium. An intern from Arizona, Teresa, that I met at Henkel joined me for the weekend. Friday night, we took the train from Duesseldorf to Brussels. Early Saturday (ahhh! I am typing on my own laptop and I keep messing up the z’s and y’s!!!) morning, I got up and threw on the running shoes. I didn’t really want to get out

Last weekend, I ventured across the river to Köln to check out the city, the Dom, some fireworks and the Kolsch (bier). There is a big rivalry between Düsseldorf and Köln - I am not exactly sure why, but when I went on a tour of Düsseldorf, the tour guide said that 100´s of years ago when Germany was a bunch of kingdoms that Düsseldorf was actually under the control of Köln, I am guessing it has

Early this summer, a bear made the news in Germany. What was special about this bear? It was the first bear in Germany since 1835! This brown bear was even named...Bruno. I found the frenzy caused by the bear particularly amusing.Unfortunately for Bruno, he was a wanted bear! So, he attacked a few wild animals and some livestock...he is, or was, a wild bear...what do you expect? Sadly, the

“I’m Cory, I’m 19 and I can’t even go through metal detectors because I’m the bomb.”Quote from the show “Daters” on MTV. Since moving to Switzerland/Germany, I’ve never watched so much MTV in my life. In my defense, I get 2.5 english channels on my TV – CNBC Europe, BBC and MTV. MTV is the .50 – half the time it’s in English and the other half the time it’s in German and when it’s in German,

Mission this weekend: do whatever I can to beat the heat. I am not kidding you, it is hot as hell here. I live on the third floor of my building with no air conditioning and no air circulation. I am dying in that place. So, Saturday, I went out in search of a fan. Turns out there are no fans to be purchased in this city. I found one store that was getting in a shipment on Tuesday, awesome...

Note: If I do decide to get internet access at my place, it will be analog!Last night, I went in to the Rhein Kirmes - it´s a huge fair along the Rhein in Düsseldorf and it is Germany´s second largest festival next to Oktoberfest.

So, this evening, I ventured into Düsseldorf for my first trip into the city. (I live in the suburbs of Düsseldorf and wasn´t able to make it into the city earlier due to a slight case of jet lag, my internship - oh yeah, I have to work this summer - and my running schedule.) All I have to say now is, "Do I have to go back to St. Gallen?"I love Düsseldorf, so far and even though that I think it

Well, I´m back in Germanz all ready. My trip to the States went by sooo fast. A day with friends, two days in Coldwater, 2 days in Coldwater, then 3 more days in Detroit for a bachelorette party rehearsal dinner and wedding.....it would have been really nice to have been able to stay for a bit longer.Even though it was a short time, 9 books, 2 magazines, 3 capris, 4 tank tops, 2 pairs of running

RWTW, have a safe journey!First of all, Vielen Dank Lance! What a lifesaver! I began discussing the whole bike transportation dilemma with my classmate Lance when he made the comment, "Can't you ship bikes on the train?" Turns out, yes you can! And for only 24 CHF. It takes approximately 5 days to ship to Germany and you have to ship to a domicile address, so since I will not be at my new place
