Ratatouille

“You know, that Ratatouille came out really well…”
“It really did, didn’t it?”
“What if we…”
“Made it again!!”

Yeah, it came out just as well the second time as it did the first. I’m always surprised at how much of it we eat, though – this whole tray? Yeah, we killed it. Pretty much completely devoured it all.

And damn, but it was worth it!

A bear, and a Tiger

Three posts about the same day… but you know what? This one is especially worth it.

You see, I’m learning Bulgarian.

Not because I need to, of course – Andrea, and her friends and whole family, speak near-perfect English… oftentimes better than I do, in fact.

Instead, I’m learning because it’s fun – and, as we’re all aware, that makes all the difference in enjoyment.


This evening, we were tired out… and so decided to read a kids book. A story about a bear, and a tiger, and what happens when the tiger gets sick and needs to be cared for by his best friend, the bear.

Even badass, MBA-earning, limitlessly cool kids, can curl up on the couch and read a picture book about friends taking care of each other.
