More Ways to Follow Temas
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008This week I’ve added a feature or two to The Temas Blog that should make it easier for you to follow the blog. The first of these can be found on the righthand column.

A Temas Anniversary
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Two years ago The Temas Blog was born. Hard to believe two years have passed already. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’m stil blogging.

I remain interested in possibly adding a section on Environmental Education, but as I confessed before, it is not an area I […]
Why? Porque?
Saturday, March 10th, 2007My blogfriend Katia has done it to me again — tagged me for a blog meme. I could (legitimately) protest that The Temas Blog is supposed to be about the issues and not about me, but what can I say, I have a soft spot for cute and amável Brazilian ladies that offer me […]
Five Things You Should Know about Me
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007My friend Katia "tagged me" for the "5 things" meme. While I never intended to make this blog so "personal," I'll play along this once because minha amiga Katia é muita amável.
OK, five things to know about me:
De nascimento norteamericano… I was born and raised in small town USA, although I have always been so […]
