Beware of Greeks Bringing Gifts

McDonald’s in Germany now has a €1 menu. Maybe they had it before, but I saw the commerical for it today. And is Burger King’s extra long cheeseburger in the US too? Probably. I had macaroni and cheese for lunch. It certainly filled me up.

The plan was to make a piñata today with friends at 3, but then they called at noon and said that they had decided to make it before they went hiking, and so I didn’t go. Yeah, it was another day in front of the TV…

EXCEPT for my walk in the afternoon. I went for a walk around the lake near StuSie. It was fallish and beautiful. There were a ton of yellow leaves on the path and the air smelled like fall.

Just so you know, computers bounce a little. Well, at least mine did when I accidentally knocked it off my bed.
