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.

Keeping with the theme – I appreciate how walkable Dublin is.

I had a doctor’s appointment today… but instead of driving, or taking a bus, or cycling, I decided to just take a walk. I wasn’t in a rush, for once, and figured that your man here could use the sunlight and exercise.

So I put on my shoes, and walked.
