My name is Mark, and I’m the (mostly) happy parent to Rufus, Max, Schmuz and Riley.  You’ll get more about them in other pages.  I’ve been living in Germany for most of my adult life.  My greatest passions are my pets, movies and wine.   I don’t consider myself an expert on any of those.  The Boys, as I call my dogs, take up most of my time and energy on any given day.  Still, I manage to find time to go to the gym, take a jog around the park or in the forest and write a blog entry.

The three of us on a lazy Sunday.
