Being born under the Gemini sign (Zwilling) I have lots of  hobbies, passions, and diversions when not at work!

  • Dogs - We've had Samoyeds for 18 years, and now have a crazy English Springer Spaniel named Samuel von Lerchenwald!  Check out the Samoyed web pages, with links to the Samoyed Ring.
    • www.samring
    • Lerchenwald Kennel owned and operated by my brother-in-law, Heiner Popp.  The best English Springer Spaniel breeder in Germany, if not Europe!

     

  • Tennis - I'm a big tennis nut, and currently vice-president of our local tennis club.  Check out the action!

     

  • Photography - I've recently rekindled my love of photography, and have lots of photos in my Gallery, plus my nephew's great photo web site:
    •  (work in progress I'm told by Mark! Hope he will show his wonderful photos to the world soon!)

     

  • Volunteering - I am on the board of two professional organizations, and am Webmaster of the home page of one of them!  Check out the SuperLinks page to great resources or the substance abuse news page, updated daily.

     

  • Music - I'm not a musician but wish I could play the piano or bass guitar.  I grew up with music at home, and enjoy all types, from classical to country, even Bavarian KrautRock! Got this great site from my old buddy Manfred Schmidt.  Check out this great music!

     

  • Videos/Films - Been a collector of good movies in English for years and my wife and I are now in to DVDs.  Our library is well used by a few German friends who enjoy the movies in the original English. I've recently started using Netflix, a DVD rental service, with lots of good old movies that I can't get over here in Germany.
  • Autos - I love cars and everything about them! Below is one of my favorite car- related web sites, as I drove an Audi A6 Quattro up until August '02, and am now patiently waiting for a new S80 D5 Volvo to be built in Sweden! 

     

  • Travel - I'm a big travel buff. Karin and I love traveling, especially Italy. Below is a great travel site for booking tickets, or just to find out information on your destination.
    • Expedia.com
    • Tiss.com (here in Europe especially easy to use, and best prices too)
    • 1000-Year Celebration Kronach check here for all the cool events that will be held in Kronach during the entire year, starting with New Years Eve, 2002!  Btw, the little guys below are Kronach's "housnkuh" a pretty special feline found only in our town!

     

  • Investing and Money - I've been investing for as many years as I've been with the government. Below is a great site about managing your money and investing.
