  • Gender and Conversation

    So while reading through blogs on MySpace (of all places), I read a summary about this old article written by Deborah Tannen, a linguistics professor at Georgetown, titled “Sex, Lies and Conversation; Why Is It So Hard for Men and Women to Talk to Each Other?“. And as much as I love generalizations about gender,…

  • Happy Memorial Day

    Poppies, originally uploaded by Popo Moo Cow. In Flanders Fields By John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly.

  • Untitled #20

    Well I’m beat tired from Capoeira, but Stephen wanted an update–so this one’s for you! Paul came with me to Capeoira tonight for the first time (and did a good job!) so that was pretty fun to have him check it out. But man, it felt like the roda that would never end. My “Add…
