I Blew it Big Time Didn’t I??

Compromise. I understand what the word means but I have to admit I’m not very good at it. Recently I’ve been forced to look at this word and adjust my life accordingly.

What Matters Most

Living here has brought me the opportunity to meet a variety of people from all walks of life….and I feel fortunate to have met some wonderful people during my time here in Corfu. This week has been a awesome reminder of that as I’ve been spending some quality time with two wonderful people from England named Tony and Maureen….

A Not so Normal Day in My Life

Today is the day I attempt to solidify my schedule for the summer….and it’s a nightmare. I have people from all over the world coming here this summer as well as my local folks so I have to fit them all in somewhere….and sometimes it’s a pain in the neck…..So today is the day….

Be Careful When You Text!

I’d never heard of text messaging prior to coming to Greece…..it hadn’t caught on in the states yet. It’s faster and easier and if you don’t want to actually speak to someone it’s a good form of communication. It can also get you into trouble if you’re not careful……

Then I’m not Gonna Play!!

Summer is here…..a bit earlier then usual….it will be about 80 degrees or so today in beautiful Corfu and I love playing tennis in the heat…..which is good for me and bad for my students….

10 Things I Miss Most About America

I was asked the other day what I missed most about America….and I really didn’t now what to say to this person….so last night while I was watching TV I started to give it some thought…..and here is the 10 things I miss most about America…..in no particular order……

1). Tennis at Bernies (The best tennis in Vegas!)

2). Burger King

3). Libraries

4). Used Book Stores

5). Ice Hockey (New York Rangers)

6). My tennis racquet stringing machine

7). 24 hour shopping

8). Super Big Gulps (Ice tea)

9). Baseball (New York Mets)

10). Sanford and Son re-runs

These are the things I miss….notice what’s absent…..PEOPLE…..because PEOPLE aren’t things…….Obviously I have lived without the things on my list but I couldn’t live without the people that are in my heart….and because they are in my heart….I don’t have too!!!

See Ya Later!

Golddiggers

I don’t know how it started but I had an interesting conversation the other day with a young lady on the subject of “Golddiggers”….people who enter into relationships because the person of interest has money…..

Reckless People Fast Cars and Alcohol

I read somewhere that Nick Hogan, son of wrestler Hulk Hogan and star of the reality show Hogan Knows Best, was recently sentenced to serve 8 months in jail for an accident that seriously injured his best friend…..

Monday Morning Blues

Another Monday morning in beautiful Corfu! Things are sure quiet around here these days…..I guess its the calm before the storm. Soon the hotel will be packed with guests and I will be busier then ever….gee I can hardly wait.

McCain says NO to Pastors Endorsements

John McCain has integrity. I like this about him. Yesterday he rejected the endorsements of two key evangelical endorsements that surely would have captured him millions of votes. McCain rejected the endorsements of John Hagee of San Antonio and Rod Parsley of Columbus Ohio after learning of their feelings towards Jews and Muslims.
