Thursday, May 14, 2020 During the last few days, some readers have had problems with my daily article “flickering”.  I hadn’t had that happen to me, nor did my IT guy John Dovey.  At first, I attributed the problem to “reader anxiety”; they just couldn’t wait to read my next story!  We then consulted with […]

Wednesday, May 13, 2020 Although we’ve done our best to make every day a fun day, today was rather… …lame. No woodworking, lamp making, plant care, bird watching, vehicle maintenance, lawnmowing, game playing, food creations or anything else related to fun to report on. I didn’t even “almost get arrested” today. So, whilst boredom settled […]

Monday, May 12, 2020 I did everything in my power to keep my promise to the most loving, considerate and wonderful woman in the world (she reads my blog now).  It was already 10:30 p.m. when I finally got the chance to start my workout, I decided that day one would be 45 minutes of […]

Monday, May 11, 2020 As the light of day bathed me through curtains oddly drawn apart, I woke to a cool breeze from the AC and an unusually strong aroma of my favorite Alto Lino coffee from Boquete. I could almost feel the warmth of the mug emanating from the nightstand where Queen Sayira placed […]

Friday, May 8, 2020 I recently wrote a bit on my political evolution from brash Conservative badass to badass Dad.  The article was already lengthy enough, but the point I wanted to eventually reach was actually on the inherent nature of people.  Who are we at the time of birth and who could we continue […]

Thursday, May 7, 2020 I started my day thinking quarantine life was going to be a lot easier for everyone, or at least for me.  I strolled out to the back of the house to my happy place, with coffee cup in hand, filled to the brim with that warm amazingness, a touch of cream […]

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 I tend to get carried away on some topics… …kinda like yesterday.  But when I do, please remember that I will always include “Top News and Tidbits”, “Status Updates” and “End Notes” somewhere between 2 to 15 pages down the report.  But it’s there, I promise.  Today, this will only be […]

Tuesday, May 5, 2020 Early on, my beautiful mother taught me to never bring up Politics, Sex or Religion into the company of new acquaintances or unfamiliar places.  Apparently though, no one on social media has ever met my mom because everywhere you look, that’s just about all you see.  I like to call these […]

Monday, May 4, 2020 It was an accomplished weekend.  No precipitation meant a dry lawn anxious for attention.  We completely trimmed the back of the house, cleaned the “Brett cave”, organized materials and instruments and watered all of the plants.  The hummingbirds were impatient as always and we cleaned and refilled their feeders.  The boys […]

Friday, May 1, 2020 What a day!   For some reason, I was late.  I have no idea how this happened as I’m typically punctual regardless of the traffic or the tardiness of others.  If I was going to make it to Quito today, I needed to run.  Oddly, I didn’t even have a carry-on […]
