This was Hamburg, two weeks ago. Yes, it was rare (they say) for Hamburg to have so much snow from one storm. And rare (they also say) for Hamburg to have such a rough winter in general. But, this being my first winter in Hamburg, I have nothing to judge the Hamburg weather against except fading memories of Chicago winters as a kid (more snow, colder) and very recent memories of San Diego (where there's not usually much weather to speak of at all.)The one thing I can say is -- spring has now sprung here. It's said you can tell it's spring in Hamburg because the snow changes to rain.... Which is exactly what happened. We had a brief few hours of warmth and sunshine Sunday evening, but now it's Monday and it's raining. I'm hoping for some signs of spring that will be a bit more pleasant than the downpour we had this evening! Someone said they saw crocus buds this weekend. I looked and saw mud.
I know this isn't the most informative first posting I could have written. And, you won't learn much about me from my spartan profile here. But, if you decide to check back in now and then, I promise to tell more about myself, my travels, my friends, my interests -- and I'll probably rant now and then about things that piss me off.
I'll try to keep it "fair and balanced" -- how about a ratio of one rant to one pretty crocus picture?

Welcome to the blogging world! Personally I find it very theraputic and I hope it's the same for you.
Also nice to see inside the head of Todd. What makes Todd Todd. The virtual Toddness that is Todd. Giving your Todditis a Toddectomy if you will. And if Todd threw a party and invited everyone he knew. He would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.
(By the way, if you can't tell it's manic day here at Shea Stadium. The first ten thousand fans get a thorazine Big Gulp courtesy of 7-Eleven.)
