Blogo de Gringo: A Letter To The Ladies
http://blogodegringo.blogspot.com/2011/10/letter-to-ladies.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. A Letter To The Ladies. It was never personal. It was never a designed escape from your comfy, matching, ball and chain. In our long-suffering quest for power slash reluctance to challenge you for any of it, we have turned to something else. In weakness, we were taken by obsession – obsession with Fantasy Football. The truth is, we have always been fascinated with control. Why do men love golf 10 to the umpteenth power times more than we reasonably should? I should be a GM!

Blogo de Gringo: Story Time
http://blogodegringo.blogspot.com/2011/10/story-time.html
Tuesday, October 11, 2011. After having dinner at our friends’ house we came back home to get the kids into bed and put a cap on what was a beautiful weekend. Matt did most of the heavy lifting as Di and I spoke about my plans for when my Mom gets here. My conversation with Di was interrupted by Matt’s relaying Duncan’s wish for goodnight kisses. Hard to say no to that cute little kid. But I have been getting better! Tonight the kids got extra hugs and kisses. Duncan was down first but Piper had her ...

http://blogodegringo.blogspot.com/2011/09/trivia-night.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Twenty - two years of Fall Sundays on the couch, staying up too late watching movies, and going through the “Useless Facts” app while on the toilet have let me to this moment – Trivia Night. The Inca Lounge arrived on my radar because the American owner wanted to have a place where he could watch football. Now every week, on the Sabbath, the gringos of Cuenca gather to get drunk and yell at TVs for the sake of their fantasy teams (Damn you Tom Brady! We got the question about...

Wednesday, October 5, 2011. So You Want To Be A Sports Fan? Now that Fall is here, you may be finding yourself lonely at church or in the cereal aisle on Sundays.

Blogo de Gringo: Cotopaxi - Part 1
http://blogodegringo.blogspot.com/2011/11/cotopaxi-part-1.html
Thursday, November 10, 2011. Cotopaxi - Part 1. Two days earlier, a seven-hour bus ride took us to Latacunga, the small town set beneath the towering volcano. The realization was refreshing. I had spent long enough thinking about what climbing Cotopaxi would be like. I was excited to find the truth. The active peak stands at 19,347 ft. above sea level. I had only been to 13,850 ft. and that was only a week prior. We all live at 8,500 ft., which helps. We had to meet our guides at 8:00 am and breakfast wa...
