We have a lot to learn!

“The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.” ― Michel LegrandSome things I learned early in life in the typical ways we were all taught through elementary, middle and high school: Reading, writing, arithmetic, science, foreign language, PE, and typing. That’s right, typing – and with a non-electric typewriter to boot!

Growing Up Among the Sharks

We recently completed our 11th season of summer swim team. The final one for Devin as a swimmer, and his first year as a coach.As a family, we have always enjoyed swim team. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan of thousand-degree nights, where the adults are sweating while the kids are swimming, or 5-hour meets that stop and go with thunder delays, but overall, swim team has always been a good experience for us.

Can We Talk?

Modern politics do not appeal to me. I try to stay abreast of current issues. I vote. I care about the future of our country, but I don’t spend a lot of time following American politics. Over the past week, politics have been front and center in our collective dialogue as the Senate Health Care Bill was released and now stands for a vote. I have read articles, listened to stories on NPR, and seen a barrage of tweets on both sides of this equation.
