Read more "Where I Come from and Where I am Going"I returned to the United States on the first day of July, but I feel like I left behind my entire life in Greece.

Read more "Back, but Not Home"On a much-needed day off last week, I set off with three companions on another island road trip. Once again I feel the need to mention that if you are going on holiday this year, Lesbos is the place to go. It has a beauty like no other place in the world! On this particular […]
Read more "Island Road Trip, Part II – Lesbos, Greece"I know, I know, it has been a while since my last post, but I think it is safe to say that I am officially running on Greek Time here, and that will not be changing anytime soon.

Read more "An Item off the List: Read More"New to the List: Pearl by J. R. R. Tolkien Sir Orfeo by J. R. R. Tolkien Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie Pearl and Sir Orfeo are two short (and I mean short) works written by an unknown author during the Middle Ages. These works have been translated by Tolkien and […]
Read more "Progress Report: Read More"New to the List: A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin An Event in Autumn by Henning Mankell Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by J. R. R. Tolkien These were all very good reads! A Feast for Crows was interesting, though I could have done with a bit more Tyrion 😉 I […]
