I was at the SF workshop in Las Vegas this last week. Lot of work. Lot of fun. It was great seeing all the people at the workshop. I learned a lot, and I believe that I learned some things that were critical to improving my writing. I’ll be working on those, will talk about […]
In my post about salads (LINK) I did not mention adding meat to your salad. However, that is yet another excellent way to make your salads taste different, by adding different meats to it. I don’t add meat to my salad every day. It isn’t because I’m opposed to it. But I do try to

As of yesterday, I have spoken Hungarian for 180 consecutive days. YAY! I still love it. I do have to remind myself sometimes that feeling uncomfortable is one of the signs that I’m learning.
