In case there were any doubts about my driving (ahem, racing!) abilities, these, I’m sure, will settle the matter: in the Cognitive Match California Go-Karting race, guess who came 3rd? 😀 Granted, you may think “well it’s only 3rd”, but it does mean still that I came 1st out of the whole Tech team! And […]

Xmas Tree — the Californian Version
Was bound to happen : my very first Christmas tree in California!
“Proper” Rugby Ball
As you probably know from my previous posts, I keep a (rather hopeful) eye on the evolution of Romanian Rugby. And after a couple of years of looking around, I got this awesome present (thanks, sis!) — an official Romanian Rugby Federation, matchday ball: All I have to do no is to put my name […]
