For years, I’ve been both a student of languages and a teacher of English and Spanish. Recently, it occurred to me how much these two parallel each other. I thought I’d write some thoughts about it.
Thoughts on Education After Trump’s Victory
In all storm of reaction after Trump’s victory, the other side is having difficulty absorbing it and comprehending why it happened.

I’m back!
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve been busy going in many different directions. But lately, I’ve been feeling the need to get back to posting on the website and in Facebook. The following is my latest “essay.”
I wanted to respond to a Heritage Foundation article I read on the place of religion in conservatism. Continue reading “I’m back!”
