The title of this post has nothing to do with the contents. I just felt compelled to share it with the world. You've been warned -- and, I hope, are happy to hear that you're not embarking on a reading adventure about my hair. I mean, gel IS keeping my hair down, so the analogy fits. It's just not really blog-worthy.
Speaking of the man, however, the [work] man is sending me back to Germany! The residence / work permit is being processed, I've signed lease on an apartment, and am getting tickets today. While I've redeveloped an attachment to San Francisco faster than I ever imagined was possible, this month's business trip to Stuttgart and Berlin reminded me how much fun I had last year and of how many cool people there are in Germany. The chance to experience another six or seven months of Europe on the company dime is something I just can't turn down.
So, I expect to arrive back in Stuttgart on or about May 27th this year, and will be living right downtown (Stuttgart-Mitte). If you're in Stuttgart, I'll be seeing you then. If you're elsewhere, plan on a trip to Southern Germany! For those of you who put up with my poor guest accommodations last summer, good news: it looks like I'll actually have a real guest room this year! Book those tickets now!
For those of you who demand pictures... (you know who you are!) Here's the building I'll be living in:
