Books, books, books
We love books. Our whole house does. Pepper devours novels. Jordan likes to read for pleasure but also collects books about ancient weaponry and mythological monsters. I like guide books, how-to guides, coffee table books… We definitely prefer the physical books. We seem to collect them. I know I have boxes of them in Alaska …
Our excitement grows about our move to India
Last weekend we were sent photos of housing in Chennai, India. The school we’ll be working for wanted to know if we wanted this place… This place has a lot going for it. Four bedrooms, four baths. We have two bedrooms and one bathroom now. A small yard. We have a park outside our apartment …
Who am I?
Two friends of mine met back in December. Mike, a good friend from middle through high school and Jay, a good friend from Mongolia. They met in Korea during a long Layover Mike had on his trip here. Hearing them talk about their meeting and discussing the few things they had in common – Korea …
Test your science smarts
The Smithsonian and Pew Research Center put together a very quick 13 question quiz that they say you can use to measure if you know more than Americans about science and technology. Naturally, I wouldn’t be suggesting the quiz if I hadn’t aced it…
Why I coach
The truth is, coaching sucks. Much of the time… It means much longer hours than most peers. You might drag yourself to a practice more than an hour before most of your peers were even in the building and end up having two players show up. You often have to deal with athletes with low commitment …

I’ll take care to not post anyone’s names here but want to share some photos I took of the ASU talent show that happened last Friday. It also happened to be a spirit day that included crazy hair, crazy ties and for lower grades, Superheroes! i did a lot of playing with settings – whitebalance, …
10 years ago…
It was about 10 years ago that I started blogging. I didn’t know that’s what I was doing. I was posting short stories on my website at first and then soon moved to Blogger to publish my content. Soon after, commenting was added using Haloscan. (Yes, ten years ago including comments in blogs was difficult!) …
I was in the circus
Tonight was the premier of an international circus performance in Ulaanbaatar. Pepper and I saw flags up a few weeks ago and have seen advertisements around town over the past few weeks as well. The ads look just like the ticket… We were seated the second row back. There were incredible acts of contortion, acrobatics, …
A year in review – 2012
Sure, it is almost 1/4 of the way through 2013, but it isn’t too late to do a year in review is it? We rang in 2012 on our winter break trip. New Year’s Day was spent in Bagan, Myanmar. (Blog post still needed!) But our escape from Mongolian winter was short and we were …
Ulaanbaatar street art
Last year Pepper and I went on a walk specifically to photograph some of the street art we have seen around town. I have shot some since and wanted to gather some of the work. This spring we’ll go out on another photo walk because we have passed by some cool pieces in the months …
