I'm a creature of habit. I would be easy for a spy to profile, because I seldom change my routine. One habit I have relates to my indoor cycling class. I teach M-W-F at 5:30 am (and yes, there is another 5:30 every day). When I leave the gym, I have a habit that I've had for three years now.

This has been a week for the record books. Whew! It has been one challenge after another. Short sale gobble-de-goop. REO nightmares, and a few struggles with a simple fair market sale. There must be a full moon in my future. For some reason, in the midst of all of the challenges I keep thin

Over all the years I've traveled into the Ukraine to teach, I've had one question asked over and over by my female students. The college I teach in frowns on the use of too much makeup. I get it. They don't want the beautiful Ukrainian girls distracting the easily distractable Ukrainian boys.
