I'm doing so because, well, I got a kitten. Her name is Audrey, and she is adorable, so I'm trying to remember to take lots of pictures of her... http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002319.html Andrew Bayer is Dreaming of China 2319@http://www.andrewbayer.com/ 2007-07-29T11:00:33-05:00 http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002318.html Or at least, they do in guidebooks. I got snookered twice today: the Natural History Museum's dinosaur section is closed for renovations (and the remainder, while not bad, was comparable to the Harvard Peabody Museum's natural history section, minus the... http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002318.html Andrew Bayer is Dreaming of China 2318@http://www.andrewbayer.com/ 2007-03-18T14:27:38-05:00 http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002317.html Well, not entirely, but I went to the Jewish Museum here today. My initial plan was to go to Checkpoint Charlie first, but that was a mob scene.

I've started commenting them up and should get that done sometime. Other observations from my first 30 hours in Berlin: There are two Dunkin' Donuts between my hotel and the Zoo.

I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to go, so, well, I did. Decent package deal got me here - connecting through Chicago, but I not only had extra legroom (thank you, frequent... http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002311.html Andrew Bayer is Dreaming of China 2311@http://www.andrewbayer.com/ 2005-11-30T08:44:40-05:00 http://www.andrewbayer.com/archives/002310.html Ok, my affection for pandas is not exactly news.

Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" was the beginning, followed by a return to Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9".

I am NOT making this up. Around the corner from where it happened on Sunday night, three doors down from my apartment. LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER REPLACING THE WINDOW.

I'll wake up partway through the night, convinced I have houseguests.
