5 Reasons you Might Enjoy Blogging: 1. Express Yourself: If you’ve ever wanted to say something but you’ve never found an outlet, blogging might be for you. I had a lot to say when I first started blogging, and I haven’t stopped blabbing since. I’ve written at least one post every day for almost two [...]
Why is it that the girl you want always seems to fall for the macho a-hole instead of you? My theory is that she’s stupid, he’s stupid, and you’re mistaken for wanting her in the first place. That’s a pretty scientific observation, isn’t it? I probably feel that way because I’ve never been a [...]
I‘ve been studying diligently for one week. When I started last Monday, I told you that stage one of my learning was going to be the level 1 German V.4 Rosetta Stone program. That’s what I’ve done; in 7 days I’ve done 8 lessons, and that means I’m halfway through level one. I feel [...]
It seems that any half-wit can get a teaching certificate these days. Unfortunately, I see a lot of half-wits also realize this.

The first time I had chilaquiles was during the year I spent in Mexico living with Mely’s family. Mely’s sister, Ihali, made them for me, and I’ve had recurring cravings for the dish ever since. I don’t know much about its origins, but I do know it’s one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s simple, it’s authentic, and [...]
In our own minds we know the definition of sexy, and for each of us that definition is a little different. Women have always been objects of fascination for men. The keyword there, of course, being objects. We men aren’t completely simian though; I for one care what my wife thinks about my personality, and I [...]
I got a great comment yesterday from an internet friend of mine. Jörg was commenting about my desire to learn German, and he mentioned that it will be good for the kids to see me studying along with them as they do their own school work. Families that study together, in his estimation, as [...]
Parents too often put the desires of their kids before their own personal goals. I spend a good portion of my day homeschooling my boys, driving them to and fro, and entertaining them, all of which, despite the occasional feelings of servitude and drudgery, have elements of personal gratification. The pride I take in [...]
