Almost done! 2 years ago

I finally found a place a few months ago. Its actually a townhouse, but what else are you going to do when you live in Southern California? Its new construction and it’ll be done in about 10 weeks. I can barely take it. The waiting is killing me. I’ve already got the 20% saved. I just wanna move in.

Learn Spanish (read all 3 entries…)

Time to start again 2 years ago

I have the summer off from teaching so it’s time for me to start learning Spanish again. My school district offers teachers Rosetta Stone online for free. Its a great product. If it wasn’t free it would be expensive but I really like it. Now, how long will it be until I can read the newspaper or watch telenovelas?

compete in a triathlon (read all 2 entries…)

Lots of fun 3 years ago

I did the Possabilities Triathlon in Loma Linda, CA on Sunday. It was lots of fun. 5k run, 11 mile bike, and 150 yd swim. I’ll definitely do another one again. The only bad part of the race was when I went to take my sock off before the swim. I had a timing chip around my ankle, so when I tried to take my sock off, the sock tore in half. It was a good pair of socks too.
