While the INTERNET allows me to keep up with much that goes on in the United States, what I do miss is the opinions of those whom I value and those are you folks who I shared some of my youth with (my youth being up until a couple of years [...]

Sunday In Germany: City of Hamburg

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 14:14:58 +0000

by Ken Yeager

Bobbie Sheehan Mauch may come to regret her last comment to me but here goes…Another Sunday in North Germany.

My subject today is the city of Hamburg. Now I suppose just about everything you may want to know about Hamburg is available through Wikipedia, but living here (or at least nearby) [...]

SUNDAY IN GERMANY: Celebrating 30th Wedding Anniversary

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:14:08 +0000

by Ken Yeager

The sun is shining for the moment…. it won’t last too long as more showers are predicted. It has been one hell of a lousy summer here in north Germany…..if we could have swapped rainy days for sunny days, then the summer would have been normal…. but what is normal for [...]

Sunday In Germany: I Hate Gardening

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 14:44:57 +0000

by Ken Yeager

As I look out the door or window of our winter-garden (a glassed enclosed, heated part of the house) I see my wife’s small rose garden, her geranium boxes lining the steps of the winter-garden to the terrace, and the bushes and trees that surround the grassy area of our yard. [...]

Yeager’s Sunday Morning Rant

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 15:09:03 +0000

by Ken Yeager

The site has been pretty quiet so I thought I’d add something to read, boring as it may be.

OK, the white asparagus season has hit Germany again, this year a bit early due to the warmer-than-expected weather in May. Plus, some farmers are now heating their fields with underground water [...]

Is this site dying?????

Kenneth R. Yeager — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:17:48 +0000

by Ken Yeager

OK, here comes another ranting from that Yeager guy, but I just can’t pass up the opportunity to try and shake something out of the Saigon Kids community. I know some of you are still working because you are younger than me and others are busy with grandchildren, hobbies, and keeping [...]

Sunday In Germany: Homeless

Kenneth R. Yeager — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:11:05 +0000

by Ken Yeager

HOMELESS - I am a homeless person. Wait, don’t misunderstand me, I have a place to live, a retirement pension, a wife to go to, and am quite comfortable in our house. But I am still homeless.

Let me explain. I was at a political meeting several evenings ago and upon [...]

Sunday In Germany: Where in the world is everyone?????

Kenneth R. Yeager — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:27:20 +0000

by Ken Yeager

It’s too cold to be at the beach so everyone who can must be off skiing or partaking of some such winter activity. Me? I’m just trying to stay indoors and warm, counting the days until I can unhook the trickle charger from my beloved motorcycle and hit the road. So [...]

Merry Christmas To All

Kenneth R. Yeager — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 05:38:35 +0000

By Ken Yeager

Well, the Christmas tree is up and decorated. Cookies and candy abound in the living room and the wine and sekt (German equivalent of champagne but sometimes better) is cooling in the fridge. Gifts are all bought but not yet wrapped (I love these bags that look like wrapped gifts…must have [...]

Your Health: Saigon Kid Undergoes Triple Bypass Surgery

Kenneth R. Yeager — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 15:12:06 +0000

By Ken Yeager

In case some of you may have wondered what has happened to the that Yeager kid who seems to have something to say about everything on this site; no, I have not died and gone to H….(I’ll leave the rest of the word to the thoughts of the reader).

The fact [...]

Sunday In Germany: Frankfurt – Ken’s Summer Prattle.

Kenneth R. Yeager — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:28:25 +0000

By Ken Yeager

As I write this, there are 24 days left in the U.S. Government’s fiscal year. That means that I am in Frankfurt helping to send your tax dollars in support of the U.S. Department of State and numerous other Government agencies stationed outside of the U.S.A. It also means that in [...]

Sunday In Germany: Sylt Vacation

Kenneth R. Yeager — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:32:41 +0000

By Ken Yeager

OK, the sun is shining and the temperatures are predicted to be in the 70’s, so for north Germany it is warm. Today we had lunch on terrace under our umbrella….white asparagus, boiled potatoes, a slice of cooked ham and a slice of katenschinken, melted butter, bottled water, a very nice [...]

Weisser Spargel (White Asparagus) season in Germany

Kenneth R. Yeager — Thu, 20 May 2010 12:17:56 +0000

By Ken Yeager

It is that time again when the Germans go a bit nuts over white asparagus. Partly because the season is pretty short, between six to eight weeks, depending on the weather, but also because, I have to say, it tastes good. Think of it, boiled potatoes, a nice slice of Kateschinken [...]
