Writing Down One’s Thoughts I wanted to teach my kid that it's possible express his thoughts and emotions in writing. That's why I started a 'writing your thoughts for 15 minutes' activity with hime.

Enjoying Wine I enjoy wine from time to time. There is some basic knowledge about wine that often comes in handy. Don't raise your glass when someone pours wine for you. If you feel self-concious to just look on, you can place your hand on the base of the glass. When pouring wine, filling the glass a third of the way is about right.
