It has been terribly cold for Belgium this last week. The frost never burns off the back lawn, and I never completely warm up until I crawl back into bed at night. Today we decided to stay home where it was (fairly) warm and cozy, instead of venturing out into the deceitfully bright [...]

K writes all the posts, so I thought I’d put in one of my own. No pictures. Physics 111 is child’s play. The course isn’t done until February 20th, but I’ve been done with all the homework assignments since last week. I was expecting a calculus based physics course. This [...]

We regret that we must preempt today’s portion of “101 things Liam loves” to bring you this special announcement. We have been suckered into buying a Sky subscription.
Those of you that know us well might remember that, upon leaving Hawaii, Jesse and I vowed not to have ANY television in our next home. [...]
Every blog must have a *101 things* list on it somewhere. 101 favorite things. 101 worst moments. It’s a rule. I looked it up. So here’s the beginning of our list:

HAPPY
SAD

Are you sick of hearing how sick we all are? Us, too. Now that life is nearly back to normal — gone are the long coughing spells and the goo oozing from our noses — perhaps we can get this blog back on track. Let’s see, what’s been happening as of late?
