Tuesday, July 14, 2020 Wisconsin is a destination I enjoy returning to yearly to visit family, friends, food and more recently my yearly health check up.

Thursday, July 09, 2020 The debate on mask use is a debate that shouldn’t even exist. There’s been so much information brought in to play on who should use it, when, how and why, that has created unnecessary confusion. It also doesn’t help that the government of Panama has mandated use of masks in a way that […]

Wednesday, July 08, 2020 Today I woke up cursed, so I felt it wise not to leave the house. I mean, other than the fact that we’re on quarantine and today isn’t a guy day, I still wouldn’t have left the house. The curse started before 7AM; it was garbage day today. Our plan for […]

Wednesday, July 01, 2020 If you’ve ever had the pleasure to take COPA Flight CM0470 out of Panama, you know how 5 hours and 40 minutes of sitting coach can actually be pleasant. There’s a natural vibe of niceties as everyone aboard has a sincere smile on their face. If we were heading to Chicago, […]
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 I’ve seen this posted by friends and family and each time it brings about a “cringe moment” more intense than any Tweet President Trump has sent out yet. This post is by no means an attempt by yours truly to examine the human experience of faith. It’s not to review how different cultures express […]
