昨天，春光明媚，更添节日（元宵节）气氛。早上，两碗热乎乎，香喷喷的汤圆下肚后，背上球拍，网球一番。下午，又美美地观看了冬奥美加男子冰球金牌决赛。好爽！美丽时光，稍纵即逝。到了晚上，NBC预告7点开播冬奥闭幕式。俺傻坐在电视机前，左等右盼，全是广告，没辙，咱还没吃晚饭不是，得儿，咱别委屈肚子，弄饭吃。您瞧怎么着？等俺吃完回到电视机前，[阅读全文]

转帖：“放羊”放进斯坦福(4)离开牛妈家后，有好几天的时间，俺都沉浸在对牛妈事迹的回味中，遗憾自家孩子不够大，没赶上领略牛妈，牛爸解题，答疑的风采。同时又觉对牛妈了解不够，若还有机会，那我还有一堆的问题等在那儿。
大约是Party过后一周左右，牛妈忽然打来一个电话。
一是说，上次去她家，俺装包子的大盘子忘在她家了。瞧瞧俺这记性。
二是[阅读全文]

说完了牛大娃择校。牛妈领着俺走到后院。和比俺早到的朋友们打过招呼后，俺又凑到牛妈跟前，一边帮着收拾烧烤架，一边听着牛妈继续侃。“说起后面二位娃，可是都沾了大哥的光了。”（牛二娃，是三兄弟中比较叛逆倔强的一个。就是俺在前面讲过的带一非裔女友的那一个。）说啥啥不听，一脖子犟筋的牛二娃成绩不如大娃好，奖也[阅读全文]

“放羊”放进斯坦福
那年的感恩节Party上,结识一了不得的牛妈。
说人了不得是因为她生了三个儿子，当然生了三个儿子也没啥了不得，问题是三个儿子一个比一个好看，好看不是用来形容男生的，但俺第一眼看见的时候，脑子里首先跳出来的的就是好看，清爽，小虎队似的，一个挨着一个，画儿似的养眼。
好看也没啥了不得，爹[阅读全文]

扯得远了些,赶紧回到斯坦福的话题上。
不是有这样一个说法么?比美国历史都长的老牌长春藤哈佛，耶鲁，普林斯顿们代表着美国传统的人文精神，斯坦福则代表着二十一世纪美国的科技精神。
不怕各位笑话，以不是长春藤胜似常春藤的姿态雄踞于美国西海岸的斯坦福，曾经是阿辉的一个梦想。现如今，梦想不再，只待阿辉家小崽子们，哪个有孝心，有出息的话，能[阅读全文]
