• What skills or lessons have you learned recently?

    Learning to be a kid again is a valuable tool to have. Kids will give us a much needed perspective. They teach us to love and trust first. Go ahead sing out of tunes. Kids don’t care.  Rhyme octopus with platypus and they still love it.

    Go ahead and believe in Santa Claus for while. Grab some crayons and colour whatever you may please.

    A Very Simple Recipe

    This recipe is so darn easy and it great to have pickled peppers on hand.

    Simply boil water ,vinegar, sugar, and a touch of salt . Once boiling, poor the liquid over the pepper and jar.

    I will be trying the same with onions today.

  • Human Nature And Futball

    Soccer has its own rules of etiquette, and it was one of the things that attracted me to the sport.

    We are better than that.

    The Ugly

    With the game in stoppage time and Union pushing, Patrick Drewes was hit by what appeared to be a cigarette lighter, with the refree ordering the players off the pitch. 

    The Beauty

    When they returned, both sides kicked the ball between themselves until the clock wound down, apparently in agreement not to attack after the incident.

    It was also a subtle message to the fans.

    Wir sind besser als das

    What is your favorite guilty pleasure food?

    I don’t keep them in the house, but I certainly love potato chips. I like everything about potato chips I like to eat them with pretzels, I like to eat them on sandwiches, I like to eat them with dip and I like to eat them plain.

    I went back to my hometown a few years back, and I was amazed by the potato chip aisle. Potato chips are like a religion in Berks County. I remember my parents used to buy a big barrel of them every week when they went grocery shopping.

    I’m part of a running group where we run and drink beer and there are always with potato chips. I don’t drink beer as well anymore or run.

    However, once pressed, I can eat potato chips with the best. such an elite group.

    But I don’t often.
