Writer, photographer, adventurer. I'm here to talk about language learning, mostly. Native 🇬🇧 speaker from 🇺🇸, learning 🇮🇹, refreshing some very rusty 🇩🇪. (I also speak very rusty العربية, but refreshing it will come later.)

Congratulations! You've won an all-expenses one-way trip to the wooded park by the university!

It might be harder to survive there than in my kitchen, but that's a you problem, not a me problem.

Well, that's done. The new addition to my left ring finger is going to take a little getting used to. #justmarried

Last night at the banquet, I found myself sitting across the table from my retired factory worker father, wondering if he had any idea he was chatting with an Italian noblewoman.

I'm in #Rome. I love Rome.

Well, the religious ceremony is still a few days away. But as of today, after this meeting with the mayor of #Acquasparta, Italy, I'm officially legally married.

Simple pleasures: I've been using third-party launchers on my phones for years, but I've always gone with the ones that adhere to (and in my opinion improve upon) the standard icons-on-a-grid format.

Just started using this one yesterday, and I FRICKIN' LOVE the clean, minimalist simplicity of it.

It's my birthday! I'm celebrating at the #KennedyCenter for probably one of the last worthwhile shows they'll ever have here. Soon, it'll be all Kid Rock, all the time.

#Selfie in the #Italian #Alps.

(Fun #language fact: Pretty much everyone who lives in the #ItalianAlps speaks #Italian and #German -- my two current target #languages -- with native proficiency.)

More #photography from #Uganda. The foreman of an engineering team digging a well.

Probably the best #photography I've ever pulled off. #Uganda, somewhere between #Kampala and #Adjumani. One of the greatest adventures I've ever been on.

(Interesting #langsky experience: In Adjumani, people -- especially children -- were CONSTANTLY coming up to me to practice their English.)
