Tostilocos, Doritolocos, ahhhhhhh, what? Culinary Goodness from the ground level, from the street, from the everyday. Found this basic content via NPR and a series they produced a few years back: Borderland. It's still available in their archives, and narrates various aspects of the busy southern border between Mexico and the United States. As part …

Highs and Lows
It's part of life, pretty much every day. Highs and lows. They are really the essence of what life amounts to. Sometimes you'll be up; sometimes you'll be down. Sometimes you'll be one of those for a long while. Might seem like forever. Eventually the pendulum swings. Consider Alex Howes. Who?, you might ask? Unless …
Guest Post: “Be the Light” — YES!
I met Camille and her husband too last year when one of their son's played on the soccer team my wife was coaching (and two of our kids played on, too). Since then we've stayed in touch via social media, and we cross paths around town from time to time too. With that as backdrop, …
“Stay Curious”

If success or victory are not immediate, don't dismay. Enjoy when it’s good, persevere when it’s tough. Make the most of the bits and pieces. Everyday.
Streak
I've considered this topic in various forms at different times in my life. It's the opposite of a slump, if you consider the context applied in various instances of sport, for example: in baseball, a hitting streak; in American football, a touchdown streak; any sport in general, wins in a row, etc. The idea that …
You’re Not Dumb
[image credit, Barenaked Ladies album cover, "Stunt"] My kids tell me that "dumb" is a bad word and we shouldn't use it. I understand that. Whether your five or fifteen or fifty-two, feeling dumb doesn't feel good. Ever. And calling someone else dumb. Not very nice at all. Here's the thing. Dumb. The dictionary says …
