The fear is held at bay
Three months ago, Chelsea and I sat in a hotel room late one night in Chiang Rai, Thailand. We were painfully aware that we had no money flowing in, but every day we had money flowing out. It was a predicament. My hope then, as it is now, was that my books would be able to … Continue reading
Pedagogical Questions and Answers
Some of my Matiome Two students… Hello All, I thought I would do something different today.

6:52 AM
There is a clock on the wall of the cabin that reads 6:52 AM. The second hand rests just about an inch from the minute hand in absolute stillness. According to that clock it has been 6:52 AM since we arrived here two Thursdays past. I suppose I could put a battery in it if … Continue reading
Yeah, I got a pedicure, so what?
So I should probably tell you that when I originally wrote the title “Yeah, I got a pedicure, so what,” a red squiggly line appeared beneath “pedicure.” Let’s be honest, how often have you ever needed to spell the word? My first attempt ended up close to peticure. It still looks right to me, who … Continue reading
