Retirement Geek’s "Me" factor
Am I a Retirement Geek? Since a few years I support my private website and plan to retire to the internet. This and three blogs help me to learn writing and prepare to the psychological aspects and my retirement project. Retirement to me is a serious business, which I want to approach it methodical and organized. I am now in the last active year of part-time...
2nd Live Checklist
It is now 11 month until I sem-retire. I planned the remaining vacation and make a checklist. The last year I already spent in the HQ doing internal stuff in a 8-5 job. That was a hard break after the former 30 years in which I traveled around as consultant and project manager and burned a...
Wiedersehen mit einem Freund. Jeder möchte lange leben, aber keiner will alt werden.
München scheint ein Pflaster für sympathische Schwerenöter zu sein, nicht nur im Film. Die “nördlichste Stadt Italiens” ist ideales Jagdrevier für einen Casanova, der zwar schon in die Jahre gekommen ist, aber mit seinem Aussehen und Verführer-Charme bei der Damenwelt immer noch einen Stich macht. Diese Rolle ist meinem alten Freund und Studienkollegen auf den Leib geschrieben,...

Märklin Werksbesichtigung
Letztes Wochenende fuhr ich mit meinem Sohn zu den Märklintagen in Göppingen bei Stuttgart. Es war eine bestens durchorganisierte Veranstaltung, die ihres gleichen suchen muss. Ich habe mit vielen Mitarbeitern bei der Werksbesichtigung gesprochen, und war sehr beeindruckt von der Freundlichkeit, der Kompetenz und emotionale Bindung zur Arbeit und Produkt dieser Mitarbeiter. Als Ingenieur war ich...
Neuschwanstein walk
Last Sunday we headed west of Munich for the Alps – that is, the more moderate mountains of the Allgaeu. I picked an easy mountain hike – The Great Tegelberg Circle – for the family, including our Labrador, who climbs like a mountain goat. The route offers lots of views, but requires a bit of...
Glai Hamas – Mountain Biking in the Baverian Alps
By fallen Angel “Glai Hamas” – “we are almost there”, said the fellow biker while Mountain Biking in the Bavarian Alps when he passed me with a soft Munich dialect. The remark was meant and taken as encouragement, while I struggled up the mountain on a very hot summer day around Walchensee in the Bavarian...

Greetings from Casablanca. Morocco – Ricks Cafe
Better than I thought, not bad at all. Leaving foggy MUC with 90 Minutes delay, but made in FRA gate right on boarding time – because of standard procedure – schedule always one plane earlier. Then we hardly made it out of FRA because of “Nachtflugverbot” with a load of elderly tourists. Arriving at 2...
