Hello from my desk in Glücksburg

 Well, I am back again. Sitting at my desk here in Glücksburg. I am sitting in my house, owned by the bank for now, Lucas is in the elementary school (started yesterday), Bruno is still sleeping upstairs, and I am getting things in order. Hoping to post more often and tell a little bit more. 

Cheers! 

Ànd..............................100 years later :)!

A new start

Well, I am back. I guess here would be a good place to write some short stories as well. I haven't written in this blog in a long time. Now I am teaching at Annette von Rantzau's Gemeinschaftsschule in Rohlstorf, Germany. Wow, all the things that have happened since the last time I wrote in this blog is incredible. Im still in Europe and my two sons, Lucas and Bruno, are doing well. 

Here and There

Its been a while but I thought I would check in. Thanks Chris from work. He asked if I had a BLOG and I said no. I plead ignorance. I just forgot I did. Then I remembered I started this one 8 years ago. Now I am 30 years old, in Denver CO, 2 sons Bruno and Lucas and doing fin.

Im 28 Years Old Now...

My son is more than one year old now, Im in Colorado, and finished my Masters. Life continues and there is no stopping it. I always try to imagine what my life will be like or more what I will be like in 60 years. If sixty years pass by and I am still alive I will be 88 years old. Wow...thats what I think I would say to myself, among other things. Between family and work I try to write where I can, another self affirmtation that being busy can stunt the imagination or as it is in this format diary blogging. I want to say my son inspires me everyday and gives me no excuses of why I can't strive to be the best person I can be. I love you Bruno. Thank you.

My Son

My Son Bruno is almost three months old now. He smiles, giggles, and is a joy to have with me. When I am not with him, I can't wait to get back and hold him. I try to remember that your sons and daughters are there to become a beautiful light in a dark world. They are not yours to push around but yours to teach and help grow strong. Children should be cherished and loved.

My little boy is innocent. I want to show him a world that makes him stay that way but know only he can make that happen. He is strong, smart, and good. My son is me, passed on through another generation of life. I hope in 50 years I pass before him and fulfills a life of happiness and courage.

The Dentist

So I was just at the Dentist this morning. I left my old dentist because he jumped right to the crown bit and didnt even bother filling it in. He would have charge me 1500$ something like that. Dr. Wu in San Diego was great. Who knew I needed 6 teeth filled. My teeth are soft I guess. I am going to make sure Bruno, my son, learns about good teeth maintainance because I screwed mine up. The teeth are OK but I just have to keep on it.

San Jacinto Mountain

It was a crazy hike, a total of 6 hours and 11 miles round trip. I am now waiting for Nastia and our baby to make it safely here in San Diego.

Virgin Islands

I had this idea a few weeks ago that I should live in the Virgin Islands. Open air, fresh waters and an island character. I think that would suit my family and I very well.

New Years News

After the initial fascination that I am going to be a Dad, I understood how cool it is going to be to see what I was like when I was growing up. Pave the way for the future because the all we have as humans are possibilities. With these possibilities we have to lead full lives before we die. There is only one chance that we know of and soaking up the juices of life is the only way to live, don't let them dry up without giving it a taste.
