Picking up the check
Everything we do requires trade-offs. Say “yes” to one opportunity, and you have to say “no” to others. Choose the right turn; miss out on the adventures to your left. Everything has an opportunity cost, and there is no way to avoid paying it. TANSTAAFL and all that jazz. One of the marks of maturity […]

A century of trans fat history
A couple of years ago, I started writing for the Washington Times Communities Pages. That eventually moved to Communities Digital News. And then I realized I’m homeschooling four kids, one of whom started high school this past year, and what am I crazy? But it was fun while it lasted. While you can find my […]

Today’s truth
Government recommendations on food (and exercise and carbon emissions, etc.) are often treated as gospel by the media, the medical community, and of course, the average Joe. But a recent spate of food news shows that what they thought they knew is wrong, so they have to rewrite their bible: Fat? Maybe not the demon […]

Being neighborly
*A caveat: this post is as much as a “preaching to myself” challenge as it is a complaint about the current state of affairs. I need to be a better neighbor as much as anyone.

A bone to pick with the books
For our history studies, we use “living books” — i.e. not textbooks — and are basically just reading through American history. Now granted these books, especially those we use for the boys, are not 300-page, in-depth studies of all the twists, turns, events, and people who make our history. They’re 40-60 page summations that hit […]

D-Day
