Jane Summer Camp
This week marked the beginning of August – wow, four months passed already since we moved to the US. Time really flies. Franzi spent the week in Madison, Alex in New York. Alex met up with our friend Jay to work on his bike and was finally accepted into the circle by his dog George. […]
Franzi’s birthday and Neumanns in town!
Birthday week for Franzi! She spent the week in Madison. Alex could stay in the city. First stop before going to the office: Everyman café for a nice Croissant and a Cappuccino. On Tuesday, Franzi was surprised with an early birthday cake by her colleagues, which was super thoughtful and tasty! Franzi got back to […]
Too hot to be active
This week Alex and Franzi basically met in the air – Franzi was in Madison from Monday to Thursday, Alex was in NY and flew to Chicago on Thursday night since he had a training on Product Design and Value Engineering on Friday. The training was hands-on and a welcome change from consultant everyday life. […]
Franzi in the middle of USA’s crime spot #1
During the next week, Franzi was in St. Louis. A couple of morning runs allowed to see the city and the famous Gateway Arch in the sunrise light. It is the world’s tallest arch (630-foot, 192 m) , the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri’s tallest accessible building. It symbolizes literally the Gateway […]
Independence Day
This week was a week without travel for a change, which we both really appreciated! In addition, it was a short week because 4th of July was around the corner. We worked from the NYC office from Monday to Wednesday and started the long weekend on Wednesday night with a hangout in Tompkins Square Park, […]
NYC Pride Weekend
Another week, another flight – Franzi went back to California Monday evening. Meanwhile, Alex stayed in NY. We started the Monday morning with our new tradition to stop by at Everyman Espresso to get a Croissant and a Cappuccino. Since we got to know the dog of one of the baristas – Lady – we […]
Alex 31st Birthday
The next week Franzi was in New York and Alex was in Detroit. It seems our travel schedules are perfectly synced so that we never spend a week at home together 😉 During the week, besides working Franzi ensured to organize everything for Alex’s birthday coming up on Saturday. Since we were away from home, […]
Office Summer Party and K-Town
The second week of June, Franzi went to Madison and Alex stayed in New York. The week started off very foggy, but from Tuesday on the weather was fantastic. During the week, a colleague and good friend of Alex – Marco – was in town so it was a fortunate coincidence that Alex was not […]
Visitors from home and premier league sport
The next week started off with a successful Steering Committee on Franzi’s project (a presentation of interim project results) and a fun team dinner at a Steakhouse in Wisconsin. Alex got to spend the week in New York. He did not complain as this allowed him to attend two-wheel-Tuesday on Tuesday night. Also he could […]
