SSAB - September 30, 2026

Classes done and now it’s time for a break! These kids must feel a little bit relaxed!

Russian class done and it hurt! Why do I do this to myself? How do you even prepare for a first class? And what is the Callan Method? (Rapid fire questions.)

We don’t get paid until the 5th! Whoa! But it’s a good time to buy GOLD! Or is it?

And how are those videos coming along? Singapore a singing, should I have gone to New York? And when will they start being published?!
