Above, a few pictures from my weekend in Dortmund, earlier this month. You can click them to see larger versions. On the left, a stained glass window showing a Stadtplan (city map) of Dortmund. Center, a different church in downtown Dortmund. And on the right, a barbershop quartet called Vocal Spectrum, from St. Louis, Missouri. They were outstanding. As you can probably guess, I was sitting on the balcony beside the stage when I took that picture. The sound was incredible anywhere in the hall.

It's Friday! In just a few minutes I'm off to pick up Marty from work (I was driving the car today). This weekend we are hoping to go see the movie Starsky and Hutch, which is playing at a couple of theaters here.

The weather is awful here right now. Last week it was so gorgeous -- sunny and warm. I was walking in the English Garden without a jacket! And this week it has snowed every day. Every single day! I think this must be winter's last stand, though.

I have a new seat on my bicycle and I can't wait to try it out. Come on, spring!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
