Home today walking the dog.

Today's get-up is a mix of England, USA and France and consists of my first vintage Barbour Beaufort, a traditional L.L.Bean Norwegian sweater over a nice L.L.Bean Blackwatch flannel shirt, some corduroy trousers and my green Aigle wellies.

And a dog leash of course.

Have a nice day!

Rainy and windy today.

Much rain and wind today. Time to wear my Barbour Beaufort.

There's so much going on in my mind concerning my learnigs from Monday's and Tuesday's Digital Marketing Camp. And I'm sure that I'll find an idea how it will work for me.

Good news is that Düsseldorf's Media Academy wants me as a teacher starting this spring.
I'll give evening lessons about business clothes for men. So you can imagine that I'm pretty excited how everything will turn out.

Business trip to Munich and WIWT.

Monday and Tuesday I've been to Munich to attend at our company's "Digital Marketing Camp".

Learning content was Internet related stuff like Display, SEO, SEA, Video Advertising, Affiliate Marketing, Native Advertising and Social Media.

Truly incredible how to make easy money on the Internet! I've learned insights you wouldn't believe!

Here's Monday's get-up:

Tweed, Cashmere and Chinos. No big deal.

The Alps next morning. What a view!

I didn't take pictures of Tuesday's WIWT, as it was the same as the day before only with different colours.


Here's today's relaxed get-up:

Chinos and a Shetland sweater

The only occasion to wear a black suit at daytime: Funeral get-up today.

Our neighbour died on the 2nd of January 77 years old. 

Today was his funeral. 

I did not wear my black suit at daytime for ages.

Trenchcoat time.

Today's get-up: Nothing special at all!

My most important wish for 2015: To stay healthy!

My dear followers: What kind of Year 2014 was that?

Germany wins the World Cup

But then:

Publishing house crisis in Germany

A lot of friends lose their jobs

War all over the World (IS, Ukraine, Syria, etc.)

Anxiety attacks everywhere

MH17

MH370

Ebola

Robin Williams commits suicide

Peter Scholl-Latour, Udo Jürgens, Peer Augustinski, Joachim Fuchsberger die

Shirley Temple, Lauren Bacall, Peaches Geldorf, Philip Seymour Hoffman die

So much sh!t was going on...


Me, my wife, our son and our daughter spent the turn of the year in bed ill with fever. Worst time ever!

I can tell you, this wasn't exactly the way I wanted it to be. My goal was to spend some quality time with my kids, having a laugh, playing games, go swiming with my son, trying out his new RC monster truck, etc.

If you're not healthy, you're nothing!

So my whish for us all in 2015 is: Stay healthy! Keep an eye on you and your loved ones! And don't forget to enjoy your life, even if it might be hard. You only have one chance!

Best,
Mike

 

Office Christmas Party Tonight!

No Christmas party attire, you wonder?

At 1800 hours we'll have a dinner at the office and after that, we're gonna play bowls. Not quite festive.

Because of that I neither wear a tie, nor a Christmas sweater (we don't have this tradition in Germany yet).

Disappointed? I'm sorry!

Besides that, today will be the last day of work this year. Starting tomorrow, I'll be a husband and father 24/7 until the 5th of January.

But don't you worry! My posts will continue during this time. But there gonna be more Christmas related :-)
