100 Days of Milo: Day 25 — Hebrew
We’re 1/4 of the way done with this stupid 100 days of Milo idea. Still a long way to go! Today’s featured page continues our focus on Judaism with a resource page for learning Biblical Hebrew something I really need to refocus on in 2016 as my son ups his own language acquisition. I’ve got…

100 Days of Milo: Day 24 — Judaism
Last week’s 100 days of Milo focused on the classical world, this week, we’ll focus on Judaism. I converted to Judaism about six years ago and since then, I’ve studied the religion (and Hebrew), on and off. Here’s a basic resource page I put together largely for my own use. Perhaps you’ll find it useful…

100 Days of Milo: Day 19 — Classical Sources of the Milo Stories
This website as you may have notices it called Milo and the Calf.

Though it may be a, I find great comfort in stoic philosophy and from time to time I annotate quotes from the great stoic works for fun. You can see…

100 Days of Milo — Amateur Classicists
This week in 100 days of Milo I’m going to feature some posts and pages about one of my non-sport related interests – classical history and thought. Here’s a page collecting my “amateur classicist” posts about average people who found time to study the classical world.

100 Days of Milo: Day 15 — Bouldering and Rock Climbing
Though time constraints have keep me out of the climbing gym for the last two years, I still follow the sport of climbing closely (in fact, one of the most popular articles on this website is about climber Alex Honnold). With my son now just a hair over two years old, and very interested in…

100 Days of Milo: Day 13 — Get Outside!
Sometime back, I developed a short list of resources for getting outside, with a specific focus on getting out of New York City. The page includes a various resources on Faster Known Times, the New England 4,000 foot peaks and most interestingly for a Brooklynite like myself, a list of New York day hikes. Over…
