It has been relatively quiet recently. Andi and I were sick before we went to Berlin / Slovakia, but the antibiotics cleared it up. As soon as we got back, Andi had some small cold then I had something else and Andi got what I had. Now the kids may be getting it. Miserable. And to top it off at the beginning of summer, the high was 50 yesterday. And we had hail, which is not quite snow, but close enough.
As a result of our illnesses, I had to pick up Drew a few times. I have managed to miss the ideal train (making me late), take the wrong train (making me late), and just barely miss the train (making me wait). I hate public transit.
We did do something fun this weekend, the Stuttgarter Zeitung Marathon. Well, the kids version. The short version. They have 1k and 2k events for the kids. We all ran the 1k. Ellie and Drew ran the whole thing, just over half a mile. Andi and I followed along. I was not planning to run since I was sick, but I saw the crowd and did not want Drew to run on his own. So I paced him while carrying two backpacks, two plastic bags, and our camera. What a sight! And we ended up walking over four miles because of the train station and registration locations. It was like a death march of sorts, but the family had fun. BTW, Ellie is in their photo gallery here, picture #62 for the Minimarathon.
Beer drinking is off as well.
Some Urtyp - Not bad.
Paulanner Hefe Leicht - Awful. But it is a light beer. Awful.
