I bought a car a little over a year ago. It was a crappy, old, automatic. I had to look around quite a bit for an automatic as I can’t drive stick and 98.5% of the cars in this country are manual. I had the car for less than six Read more…
Today I did the twice-yearly task of evaluating my 401k and rebalancing it. I love the fact that I can push money around from one fund to another, analyze the relative performance of my investments against each other and against other funds, and generally feel like the master of my Read more…
Sorry it took so long to post about this, but I now have brand new hardwood floors in my apartment! Okay, so they’re not really wood. They’re laminate. But they’re painted to look like wood! That has to count for something right? I never knew what was involved in putting Read more…

I lost. By like five points. This is just a quick post for historical reasons. Losing 5 to 3 at this point.
But not in the way you think. I guess it was inevitable, after so much smack talking, that Maurits would get pissed off and get back into form. He came from behind in two games (one of them he was down 7-1) to win the best of three match. I Read more…
I realize I have been remiss about blogging about my life in Europe, and how it differs from America. So today I have this little story for you. We are on our way to lunch. In Dordrecht there are precious few places of sufficient quality for one to dine in. Read more…
