Cheese!

Last month Erik, Priska and I took our first transatlantic trip together! We were a bit worried about how Miss P would handle the long flight, the hotel stays, the plethora of car rides (her least favorite place in the world is her car seat) and being away from home for so long. But the...

Kay - Some new ones to me. I love the Move vimeo. Would like to use it in class. But the Fred Rogers acceptance speech brings a tear everytime! Thanks for sharing.

Cheese ‘n football, who’s doing it right?

While I’m not a huge football fan (yet how many years did I spend acting like a crazy person on the sidelines?) there is one day a year where I have no problem watching a three hour long game without peeking at the clock every 5 minutes, hoping the end of the quarter is near....

A man’s work

Erik Eagleman, Cannondale Concept E-bike, 2010 Turns out some – a lot – ok, nearly all of the things my parents taught me are, in fact, true and highly relatable to one’s everyday life.
