Is there a Houston, TX group? When and where do ya'll get together. I'll be in town around Easter, but also running around with family. Let me know if there is interest and hopefully we can work something out. I'll be in Galveston Easter Monday, College Station on Tuesday, and The Woodlands on...

So I'm going to try something silly. Let's make my survival EuroHerf 2021. As is posted elsewhere Kann, CigarSid and I are tackling the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee (GVRAT), but during that is finished I'm trying to finish the SwissAlps100 baby course (50km and 3000km of elevation gain...

So I have signed up for the "Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee" (GVRAT). The race runs from May 1 to Aug 31 and is about 1000km long. I know it is more, I just can't remember from last year how much further, only when I hit 1000km and it didn't say finished the thought of "Well, $#@!$^%#*&"...

Move along

Just booked tickets back tot he US for a visit. We will be in Jackson from Oct. 6 til 10, the GNV from the 11-14, the Orlando the rest of the time. Let me know if anyone is about for a smoke during that time. Especially Jackson, as I get really bored at the in-law's.

I had a wild idea to try and run a marathon back in May of last year. To make this wild idea a bit crazier,I decided that my first marathon should be the Himeji Castle Marathon in Himeji Japan. I live in Switzerland. So at the end of July I started train, during scout camp in Italy. During the...

My family and I are headed to Japan next week. We will be visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara during 10 days. Guess the distance my phone measures me walking during that time and you'll win a five pack and some chocolate. Two pieces of useful information: the package will ship when I get and have...

I have a friend who enjoys a good cigar moving to Milwaukee in the near future, as whenever his Visa is approved. If anyone is up in that area and would like to meet for a smoke I can coordinate. He is a Spanish guy and will be doing a Post-doc in Milwaukee.

I visited a local B&M yesterday and question the suggestion of the salesperson. She suggested that ideally, I have a separate pipe for each tobacco I smoke. I can somewhat see the logic behind this, if as she suggested, the pipe retains the flavors of the tobacco. Do you follow this principle...

Just wanted to check on how any of our Baton Rouge people are doing. I went to school at LSU and have been keeping up with the flooding of the area through friends facebook feeds. Hope all are safe and your homes are undamaged.

Last weekend I went out to look at, and hopefully buy, a car for the family. We have been carless since we moved over here. I had a GMC Sierra in the US, but it simply doesn't fit in Switzerland. The car buying experience is something quite different here. I had been looking online at cars on...

I thought living on a separate continent would keep me safe from you guys. CigSid has proven me wrong by smashing me with a intercontinental ballistic missile. I got a call from my wife saying that a package had arrived and I thought it was odd that my Secret Santa package was being delivered...

I'm not sure who is in Europe. AudiKraut and I are getting together on Sat April 11 in Zürich, Switzerland. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know.

I know this is a bit in the future, but I'm throwing it out there.    I'll be in Orlando from June 13-16th. I'd like to get a herf together. I recall some mentioning that they will be working for Disney and others that they had annual passes. I'd like to herf in Epcot if possible. The optimal...

I'll be back in the central Florida area this Holiday Season. I land on the 18th of Dec and fly out again on the 30th of Dec. I will be spending lots of time with my family since I haven't seen them since Aug 31. If anyone is interested in meeting let me know.

I've hinted at it in a few threads and several people know. I was offered a job at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland and took it. It is a permanent position (or so I understand) versus a 2 year contract with nothing firm at the end of it. I moved into my apartment on Monday and once I get high...

I'm heading up to Atlanta Sunday August 24 from Gainesville, Rock City. If anyone want to get together for a herf either in Atlanta, or somewhere around the way let me know. I am coming in to town to visit the Swiss consulate on Monday morning, but don't feel like leaving at 4 am to drive there...

I'll be in St. Louis for a meeting from July 20th to 24th. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting together. I will not have transportation and am staying near the Arch.

Actually, I'm flying more than driving. I have been working as a Postdoc, which is similar to residency for medical students, for several years and am always looking for a permanent position. I have two interviews in the upcoming weeks. One in Davis, CA and the other in Zurich, Switzerland. If...

I go out of town for a job interview, at University of Oklahoma, and I come home to house destroyed by four bombs. Thank you Joebunaga, AudiKraut, CheifMD and Sar###. The only thing that would have made this better is if we had been able to smoke in person at Gingerman. While out at OU, I had...
