Number 1
Two weeks ago I switched from French to Spanish, and while hesitant, I realised that I had made the right decision. Firstly, SO much of what I learned in French translates right over, which has been super helpful. Secondly, the structure of Spanish, both in terms of speaking and writing, feels more straightforward. Maybe that…

Misplaced Reputation
Today, we ventured out to the notorious Aurora, known for its lawlessness and violent Venezuelan gangs. In the same way Springfield, Ohio is known as the home of cat-eating Haitians (or so they say…), Aurora is the Caracas of the Mountain West. If that’s the case, the gangs must have taken a long weekend, because…

Catch me if you can
Ky and I watched the movie Catch Me If You Can this evening. It’s a good one. While possibly a bit too long, and the plot line with the dad didn’t really fit in, it’s a hell of a story, and Leo DiCaprio does a wonderful job. Is all of it true? Perhaps not, but…

Northern Lights
Tonight was one of the most active Northern Lights events in quite some time. If you found yourself within this area of the map, there was a reasonable chance you could see them. Unfortunately, despite being in the zone, we didn’t see them. Being downtown didn’t help, but we drove out 40 minutes into the…

Morning routine
There is a lot of discussion in the productivity world around morning routines. Exercise first thing, or journal? Ice bath? Compulsory. High fat breakfast or intermittent fasting? The comment section becomes a war zone. There is only one morning routine which I like, have followed, and found useful. Alex Hormozi is a business and productivity…

Personal Brand
It occured to me that while the world of professional sports is so heavily focussed on brands, it is interesting that one area has been largely ignored, the coach, with some exceptions. This idea came to me while thinking of the University of Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders, who prefers to go by term “Prime…

One year on
It’s been a year since Hamas invaded Israel, and while I would like to say things have got better, they really haven’t. Despite that, I thought it would be worthwhile exploring the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Good: Honestly, not much, but Israel has shown itself to be a resilient nation, both militarily…

Everyone needs a hobby
I have been thinking of getting back into an old hobby for a while, and today, while Ky was at yoga, I decided to make a gentle return to the world of magic. Denver isn’t a well known destination in the conjuring arts, but the store I went to, and the man behind the counter,…

La fin, pour l’instant
Aujourd’hui, je n’étudie pas pour la première fois en 271 jours. Pourquoi? Espagnol est mon parler préféré maintenant. J’aime français, et j’adore France. Mais, l’opportunité ici aux États-Unis est petite. A l’avenir, nous ne voyageons pas au Le France, et mon esprit de corps pour étudier est une peu. Tous les jours, je deux parler…

Spring Clean
Our house is probably going to get quite messy in a few short weeks. The optimal strategy would be to relax your standards now, after all, why bother polishing the dunny when there’s going to be a turdinator 3000 in the building? Instead, Ky and I cashed in our discount voucher and booked the 3…
