Friday, January 22, 2021 Well, if ever there was a time when leaders were meant to shine, that was supposed to be 2020. As we look across the planet, very few leaders were truly to be found. In truth, the majority of them were found in the places you wouldn’t normally look for them. When you hear the […]

Thursday, January 14, 2021 For as long as social media has existed, all of these platforms have been using your information for any number of reasons. Their primary interest is to learn more about you, the customer, so they can orient you towards other things that you would like. It’s just the same as McDonald’s asking if […]

Tuesday, January 12, 2021 Well, I suppose we all should have seen this coming. The month of January is typically a dead month for most commerce anyways, but it shouldn’t be dead and buried. We all had to go back to suspending or firing employees, making deals with office landlords, negotiating with suppliers and don’t get me […]
Saturday, January 9, 2021 What’s going on in the US right now isn’t anything more than a struggle for power. If there’s a lesson to be learned here it’s that you should never do anything with the intent to gain power over people. Power only attracts the worst of humanity and corrupts the best. And from my observations, […]

Have you ever had one of those days on quarantine, but you thought you could feel any more quarantine-y than you did at that very moment, but then the government comes out of nowhere with news that they’re giving you a dose of even more quarantine? Don’t even tell me that you didn’t, because that’s EXACTLY what happened on Sunday to me, you, and every one else in Panama.
Friday, December 18, 2020 I’m one of those Facebook group “observers” who reads just about everything posted on the local Panama groups, yet rarely comments. I try so hard to stay out of the fights, and usually only comment when I have time and when I’m 100% certain of an answer. Lately, I’ve noticed a […]

Friday, December 11, 2020 With the holiday season upon us, with its hands gently clutching our throats, trying so graciously to strangle the life out of all of us, I begin to recall again how ignorance is NOT bliss. Oh sure, the process of ignorance, the very moment that one is ignorant, is about as […]

Friday, December 04, 2020 Having grown up in a macho community, where men were men and the cows ran scared, I innately learned the importance of making money doing just about anything. By age 10, I was fixing bicycles for my friends, age 12 I had my first paper route, eventually managing 3 different routes […]

Friday, November 27, 2020 What. A. Week. Oh hell, what a MONTH! I can’t even begin to fathom the possibility that I could be the only person that thinks that the month of November in Panama was completely UNFAIR! And “unfair” isn’t even the right word. We got skimmed by two hurricanes which flooded major […]

Friday, November 20, 2020 Physical farce and slapstick were seemingly the cornerstone to my last weekend. I took the brunt of the multiple mental parities of The Three Stooges. Moe was embodied in someone; else however, I quickly learned firsthand how the intense physicality of their punchlines was no joke in real life. I’ve recently […]
