I am a little more sensitive about language barriers than most, because both my parents are not native English speakers. My parents are both from Brazil , but spoke Portuguese and German as their primary languages up until they moved the United States in the 60’s and 70’s. In fact, my first language...

What the hell were they thinking? I sit here in a pub at the airport, eating a burger in front of a big TV that is tuned to ABC.

Blog Post: Stick to computers, the stock market is wacky

quato

I admit it, I think I was playing solitaire on my laptop (resembled a desktop) back in college when we covered the stock market. It continues to baffle me.
