Tomorrow's Responsibility
I was reading an article from Australia where a teenage boy threw an unknown twelve year old into water, even though the kid was saying he couldn't swim. Of course, it was all caught on camera by the teen's

Another's Misfortune
Don't revel in another's misfortune. But it might be funny. I was waiting for the buses to arrive and pick Smallsteps up from her camp trip, and I was early, so I sat on the stones in the town square under

1000-yard Stare
1000-yard Stare The "thousand-yard stare" is a blank, unfocused gaze caused by dissociation. It happens when the brain psychologically disconnects from reality to cope with acute stress, emotional

Kings of Influence
Yesterday, a friend of mine added an article about a planned massacre in the city in which we live, that was thwarted and the boys (18 and 16) are on trial. This terrifies me. Not just because it's in

Another Man's Hedge
Yesterday, I called out to the elderly neighbours, but they weren't home, so I went ahead and did the same as what I have a couple tines before. I trimmed their side of the hedge. It isn't a hard job for

Like a Virgin
With Smallsteps out of the house for a couple nights, my wife and I took the opportunity to try a pinchos restaurant in the city. Some friends have gone and on my wife's side it has got great reviews,

Uncomfortable Baggage
Smallsteps is off. Along with three bus-loads of nervous kids, many whom have also never stayed overnight away from family. In a pleasant surprise for Smallsteps, when we arrived to the meeting location,

Up and Away
Other than with family, Smallsteps has never stayed away overnight. But tomorrow, she will head to a camp, sleeping in a tent surrounded by trees in the forest - like a horror movie. She is both excited

Own Goal
Watching the football from all different countries, there is one question I have for at least some of the spectators watching from wherever they happen to be. There are a lot of "nationalists"

Unexpected Beaching
As the weather was warm (albeit windy), we went to the lake beach for the first time this summer. I inflated a couple airbed things while my wife cut up some melon and packed the towels, and we were off.

No Particular Order
After being gone all day for midsummer celebrations, here are some of the collected photos. It was a nice day, starting off around 1pm and straight into grilling both beef and pork steaks, cheese-filled

Lock Away Baggage
I had an interesting conversation with a psychotherapist the other day about emotional baggage and whether we actually need to dive into it or not. In her opinion, yes, it is necessary - but I myself am

Not a relaxing coffee. I am on the train to a customer this morning and bought a coffee, since I didn't have time to brew one at home before leaving. Once on the train, I had a sip, grabbed my laptop out
