I recently finished Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong written by James Loewen, and while I admitted to reading several other history books as well, I think I’m rather more stunned by a single idea that Loewen’s writing so clearly and with such distinct reasoning catalyzed in my mind [...]

History, social class, and cyprus

Comments   0   Date Arrow  August 13, 2008 at 9:00pm   User  by wonderfullyrich

Cyprus was a relaxing experience and one to which I realize that I am privileged enough to be able to put into my agenda.  In this day and age of workaholics and a life that never stops, it’s more necessary then ever to regain perspective or just disconnect from all the responsibility that life teaches [...]

Like an airplane between airports

I feel like I just dropped off the radar slowly and unintentionally, then all of a sudden I landed at Dulles and had to remember how to get home. A strange feeling really, but part of the reason I highly recommend change your perspective so entirely for long periods of time. You come [...]

In paradise without distractions

The last major distraction of the smartphone was eliminated nearly as soon as we got to the beach as we went to the number 2 party place in Europe, Ayia Napa, just 15 mins away from the house we are borrowing for the week here in Protaras. Aiya Napa is like Key West, [...]

One Piece will do…

Comments   0   Date Arrow  June 21, 2008 at 10:46am   User  by wonderfullyrich

Every time I land somewhere I’m reminded of an old line in short circuit “one piece will do” referring to bringing back a newly self aware robot in one piece.
I made I to Cyprus in one piece.  Smooth sailing, other the Dulles security stealing my toothpaste. Felt like all I ate was “English breakfast” as [...]

I just read a passaged that describes how a human body can become the niche that will develop anti-bacterial resistants bacteria.  The book is Mountains beyond Mountains written by Tracy Kidder concerning the life and passion of Dr. Paul Farmer who set about to improve the Haitian condition using anthropology and modern medicine.
