When my beautiful hand-tooled and custom and expensive SOMA Delancey single speed got nicked I brought over a cheap-but-nice Specialized Langster Gangster to Berlin to replace it. At $600 out-the-door, I would prefer to stick with awesome-but-cheap bikes like the Bianchi Pista, the Specialized Langsters, the Surly Steamroller full bike, and maybe something else. Anyway, Craig Childers asked so I thought he — and you — deserved an answer.
At 40 I am a student again — at the Goethe-Institut here in Berlin, German, learning German from level zero, A1.1, through to I think A2.something. Here’s what I schlep back and forth to class everyday. I need to now go back and write all of these down for my homework tomorrow and sort out all of the vocab words for all of these things and I will be back with the German version of this in a little while!
If you link through to the original post over at my profile on Flickr, you’ll see that I tagged all of the contents of the bag — so just go here and take a look!
I spoke to my mum on the phone and she reported that Washington was unseasonably wonderful, blue, and warm on St. Patrick’s day. Well, today is a lovely warm day in Berlin as well. Face! Even birds are chirping and my coat is too heavy.

I have hungered to buy a Honda Africa Twin 750 dual purpose motorcycle for 20 years in some for or another.
Interesting.
Got my eyes tested. Right one (left to you) is perfect but the other one is +0,25, whatever that means. What do you think of my glasses. Do they suit or should I return them? Too small? Too narrow? Too German?
