How does it feel to be called a baby? What if someone you admired told you to stop being a baby? Would that motivate you to change? If I could get over the shock of such an insult, and I knew that they meant it for my good, I would probably ask myself, “What can…
Papi’s Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is a staple ingredient in many dishes, but is also a favorite around our house just as a hot beverage. I (“Papi”) have learned from my wife and tweaked this to fit my taste.

Authentic Guacamole
There are, of course, a few variations on guacamole, but most boil down to (1) do you add tomatoes or not, (2) how finely do you mash the avocado, and (3) what type of chile do you use (jalapeño or serrano). Here’s our preference. I figure you know what guac looks like, so I chose…

Third Life Transition
I am entering a strange and difficult transition that is probably normal to those in their 50’s. Or so I suppose. I feel less motivated to attempt great things with my life, to accomplish change in the real world, and to start ambitious projects. I feel strangely tired and unmotivated.
