How do YOU listen?

March 24, 2017 by Daniel

The ‘up’ can quickly change to a ‘down’. The difficulty of the task becomes impossible to ignore. It’s soon evident that success […]

March 17, 2017 by Daniel

Yesterday evening I studied Swedish for an hour, as the plan dictates. Tuesdays and Thursdays I don’t teach in the evening, so I schedule an hour for each of those two days.

March 13, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. Today we have a new ‘Book of the Classic Italian Movie’ out. Honestly, I’d never heard of ‘Accattone‘, but I HAD heard of Pier Paolo Pasolini, a left-wing writer, poet and director who was famously murdered.
