August 28, 2014: More Survivor than Winner

August 27, 2014: Playing and Winning
When I started playing darts I didn’t think about the competitive aspect of it. I just wanted to play darts, meet people and drink beer. I am not even sure of the order of those priorities. Thanks to my diet, … Continue reading

August 26, 2014: No Complaints about the Heat
It hasn’t been a warm summer where I live. I can’t really say I have minded. I don’t love hot weather, and am really more of a fall person. That being said, I recognize the need for a few hot … Continue reading

August 24, 2014: The Nokiidaa Trail
Finding the day’s Perfect Moment is sometimes hard. I couldn’t find one on Friday because my hellish commute home made me unwilling to search for it. It likely existed, but I was in no mood to ponder it. Saturday, while … Continue reading

August 20, 2014: Basking in the Glow of Student Warmth
There is no greater moment for a teacher that to see a student succeed. Second to that, and the source of Today’s Perfect Moment, is when a student compliments your teaching. Your heart wells up, and you feel proud… and … Continue reading

August 19, 2014: Outside the Comfort Zone with Gnocchi, Beer and Friend
It was an Italian restaurant, cleverly disguising itself as a bakery, with small tables in a series of rooms entered in from off the main street that I found myself and a friend in today. The workday was over, but … Continue reading

August 18, 2014: Brand New Socks
There are certain feelings that are hard to replicate. I’m not talking about love or anything like that–because I have been told eating chocolate comes pretty close. I’m talking about real, five senses kind of feelings; actual physical sensations. Here’s … Continue reading

August 16, 2014: Coincidences
