Well, now that it’s Labor Day, summer is officially over, at least for the Vargas family. We homeschool so we get to choose when the school year starts and Labor Day is our last hoorah before we start back up. Labor Day is our last chance to celebrate summer. Cookouts, hanging out with family &
I read an article the other day about a 13 year old kid from Columbus, Ohio who brought a toaster and a box of pop tarts to school so he could give everyone a snack during lunch. This was his mom’s Twitter post: “Apparently, my kid got in trouble today for PACKING OUR TOASTER IN
In 2005, Steve Jobs gave the commencement speech for Stanford University. If you haven’t heard this speech before, do yourself a favor and google it right now.

Happy Independence Day! I’m in Rome for the next two weeks so I won’t be able to celebrate the 4th like I normally would. I’m a typical guy – I love blowing things up! But I don’t think that would go over so well on this side of the pond. Did you ever think about
I was at the gas station yesterday reluctantly putting another hundred bucks in the tank. As I was sitting at the pump sadly watching the total roll past a hundred bucks, I noticed a guy going talking to people filling up about car wax he was selling. I could see that I was next in
This past Wednesday I shared the sad news that Steve Sax’s son had died over the weekend in a military exercise. I hope you took Steve’s advice and gave your loved ones an extra hug yesterday.Like I said, Steve was a childhood hero of mine. Meeting him a couple of years ago really was an
I just finished an amazing book about the smallest man to ever serve in the United State Military. His name was Richard Flaherty and even though he was just 4 foot 7 inches tall and 97 pounds, he was a giant among men. In fact, the name of the book is “The Giant Killer.” He
