Welcome to Texas, y’all

As I sit here on my balcony in 99 degree weather, with the wind gusting sporadically through the treetops and the sounds of DFW airplanes flying overhead, I can say that this is one of the last places I thought I’d ever call home. Queenstown, New Zealand? Sure. Thassos, Greece? Absolutely. Hanover, New Hampshire; Kailua, … Continue reading Welcome to Texas, y’all

The Top 20 of 2020

Pride comes before the fall

I apologize to non-avid tennis-fans, that you have to read about tennis YET AGAIN because that is all I seem to be able to write about anymore (conveniently not the case when I sit down to work on my thesis, which is also about tennis. Funny how that happens), but I have life lessons to share. JUST fyi, I had … Continue reading Pride comes before the fall
