Internet radio is cool, especially for this old small town New Yorker living in Germany. When I get homesick I like to listen to the local radio station back home, in my case Big Frog 104 in Oneida Co.
Sometimes this backfires and I feel even more homesick than before, yesterday was one of those days. Last night I found myself checking job ads and house prices in St. Claire Shores (above Detroit), where dear friends of ours live. Sometimes we talk about moving…but so far our piggy-bank hasn’t been full enough for such a drastic move (sigh).
I’ve lived with my German wife here in Germany for 18-1/2 years. I think we have it good here, I really can’t complain, but sometimes I really miss family and friends. Blogging helps…

It sure would be nice if you two were here.
I missed the silliest things living in Germany – the convenience of Wal-mart (much as I hate going there!), chick-fil-a sandwiches, and good mexican food!
I listen to my San Francisco radio station’s morning show sometimes while I cook dinner in England. (I tend to only let myself do it when I know I’m going for a visit soon. Maybe I’ll do it tonight!)
I never knew that you were a New Yorker.
