Caedmon has reached the age where he likes to do what he sees the rest of us doing. I remember this stage with Leighton, but it seems more pronounced and apparent with Caedmon, perhaps because he has a bigger brother that he is following and imitating. One of the areas that I have seen this […]
MoreI don’t know what it was that sent Leighton into a tail spin tonight. Somehow we went from playing happily to having a full out melt down by the end of bath time. In all honesty I think we’ve had a number of busy days and he is exhausted. He, however, is very much like […]
MoreAs promised I will provide some Korean words that I am learning. I have been listening to podcasts from http://www.talktomeinkorean.com and have kind of figured out how to say “hi” and “thank you”. I’ll start with “hi” for this lesson. 안녕 + 하세요 = 안녕하세요.

Last […]
MoreI work in the Emergency Room, I spent four years training in one of the busiest ERs in the country, one that use to be known as the “Knife and Gun Club”. I see and take care of and treat emergencies on a daily basis at work. I really enjoy emergencies, I don’t think I’m […]
MoreDear Sir- I’m sure this wasn’t your dream profession when you were little. It may be something you are doing in-between jobs, it may be something to pay the bills, or it’s just a job that needs to get done and you happen to be the one to do it. At times I bet you […]
MoreSome people have the ability to learn languages and pick up the sounds, nuances, and all that goes into speaking and understanding a language fairly easily. In college I lived with a girl who was American, grew up in Argentina, was a French major and was taking German “for fun”. My other roommate was a […]
