You're in the heat of the race, and I don't forget about her, but I didn't think about her for a couple of hours, so I feel badly about that, but part of me feels selfish for doing this because I'm her mommy and I should be there. But, I chose to do this 'cause it's...
Nowadays, it’s much less important on the travel scene, though there are still all manner of kids running around this street, binging on cheap liquor and pretending they are Bukowski. Bangkok has become such a hub for business and opportunity that foreigners are pretty much everywhere. I don...
Or when students gave me grief about how it looked like I ate candy bars all the time when really they were disgusting protein bars. One day during a lesson on multiplication arrays, I decided to dispel this third grade myth once and for all. I unwrapped one of my more unpleasant tasting...
