- I do not really need to be up this late watching this kind of baseball.
- Unleashing the party trick where I understand approximately 7% of the Germanic- or Romance-language conversation you’re having in front of me and unexpectedly ask you a simple question about that topic in your language.
- “Oh nice the Phillies won!” I say too loudly to a restaurant full of uninterested Europeans.
- Is SPOTLIGHT mid? I don’t know, it made me cry.
- This is not a moral reflection on the people of Belgium, but they not good at Chinese food.
- I don't know if anywhere does it, but I'd like an RCV primary to get down to two candidates, followed by a general election where the candidates can focus their appeal/attacks based on a specific, single opponent.
- I am not sure the sandwich exists that would be improved by adding a slice of hard-boiled egg. The Belgians don’t seem to think there is a sandwich that wouldn’t.
- Possibly my first time in Europe during Eurovision. What are my obligations here?
- Pete Rose hell of flame
- This is the favorite band of one of my Belgian colleagues, lol.
- Some Philly graffiti, a Ghentish Treaty
- My Aussie colleague swears by this Australian cheesesteak place. I will need to go there to be able to vouch for it myself.

- Met some Italian colleagues tonight, so I got to break out my rudimentary Italian. “Ciao ragazzi” and “Piacere” and “Di dove sei?” and then at the end “Ci vediamo domani.” It’s the middle parts of the conversation I don’t really do.
- It doesn’t even matter if it meets some particular definition of corruption. It’s against the law and explicitly prohibited by the Constitution.
- A little weird as an American to be at a work conference in Europe right now. Most of the European colleagues that I’ve known for at least a few years know where I stand politically (or at least how I feel about our president), but a few new introductions have not been devoid of some side-eye.
- 22 hours from home to hotel room. Might take a little nap. Just a little one, though.

- Obviously this happened before the wedding, but I proposed via email, which contained an obscured URL she was afraid to click because it looked like spam (even though it was from me). I convinced her to click the link eventually and it took her to a website I’d made at willyoumarrymejessica dot com.
- Uh, sir
- A fourth jet? In this economy? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
- I was only in Denmark for an hour but I did have two airline employees size me up and decide they should try speaking to me in Danish first.
- Denmark from above. Anyone know what the yellow crops are? They’re very pretty from the air.
- This flight entertainment system has a “Clint Eastwood” section, separate from “Movies.” I’m not saying they’re wrong.
- Who is telling him he has a chance of being president? If it’s “absolutely no one,” the delusionality is pretty worrisome.
- Our dryer broke, which I just found out while doing laundry so I can go on a work trip in two hours, so I’m reacquainting myself with the laundromat after a quarter-century or so.
