Start of operations of the Modular Hospital.

Thursday, June 11, 2020 I have a hard time taking anything seriously.  To me, just about everything is a joke and every scenario merits a good ol’ fashioned sarcastic retort.  I mean, have you seen what’s going on in the world today?  It’s absolutely ripe with prime targets for a sarcastic bastard like me! I don’t know why I’m like this, […]

Mrs Sheep, expert in virology, music, massages and real estate. Previously associated with having expert knowledge on Caribbean-focused natural disasters and the logistics of rescue.

Wednesday, June 10, 2020 I got called a “sheep” today. Ironically, she said it with two short “bahs” then 4 long “baaaaaahs”, followed by a snotty huff. It was from one of those “the coronavirus is just like the flu” people (let’s refer to them as the “CIJLTF People”). Actually, she further insinuated that the […]

Tuesday, June 9, 2020 One of my employees was confirmed today to have COVID19. I’ve only been in contact once in the last week, but several others from our office were.

Me in my underoos at 7 years?

Monday, June 8, 2020 I wore underoos as a kid and I’m a better person because of it. Fruit of the Loom had at least a few geniuses working for them when this came out. What better way for a single mom of two, to help their kids live out their dreams of becoming a […]

Please throw my squeaky toy

Friday, June 5, 2020 Lately, it seems that I find myself examining my own reflection, taking every precaution not to plunge too profoundly into my own essence.  On the surface, physically, my hair is short and grandfatherly grayed, where a once tremendously wavy and dark brown Viking’s pelt was on display.  Now, mostly a burdensome consequence especially […]

Wednesday, June 3, 2020 After being pummeled by Murphy’s Law yesterday during the International Day of Observance for all things Murphy, today was, for all intents and purposes, a good day.  As a matter of fact, it started out great and stayed that way (so far… …I hope I’m not jinxing myself). I try to […]

Union March

Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Today was definitely St Murphy’s Day somewhere in the world.  That’s the kind of day that you don’t celebrate; it´s practically a “Friday The 13th”.  This is the day that Murphy’s Law is recognized, yet today Murphy’s Law instead recognized me.  I’m typically a positive person, but today, just about whatever […]

Tests for Covid-19

Friday, May 29, 2020 My relationship with Panama is that of a beautiful marriage.  I love Panama and I sometimes get carried away as I laud the people with sincere, heartfelt admiration and gratitude; I find myself having to calm myself down realizing that my listeners had lost interest minutes ago.  I could talk about […]
