I Live in Iowa: Week 182

Obviously a good week. I mean, a few days in Germany, that's hard to be bad. I still have more to say about Germany, for example, the autobahn, perhaps work trips in general. For now I will simply say, das ist gut.

I worked full days Thursday and Friday and actually got a lot done. This might have been one of my more productive weeks in some time. Certainly it was one of my most educational weeks in some time. While productivity and education are not the same, I do highly value learning new and practical things. Given the choice between the two, I would certainly try to pick a mix of both. 

Exercising was about nil. I did go rock climbing Saturday up in Madison at Boulders. The rating at that climbing gym are easily a grade harder than they suggest. Usually gyms are rated on the easy side, so you feel much better after climbing a 5.11, instead of failing on a 5.9, like I did. 

Saturday was the company Christmas party. I went for the first time since I have been here, and I had a really good time. It's nice to see everyone in a different light and meet their significant others. 

Yes, I will blog about Germany more later. I hope you had a good week!
