Friday, March 10, 2023 Wisconsin.  “Scony Town”, to its Friends, chock full of Wisconsinites and Sconymeisters.  An attractive bunch they are with their gloriously broad demographic, they’re envied by many yet curiously shunned by so many more.  Known for their dairy and hops diets, their state motto is cleverly “The Land of Cowshit and Beer […]

Friday, March 03, 2023 Operation Surprise the heck outta Mom was a success.  I had to come up to Wisconsin for some personal stuff and thought, “What a great opportunity to give my mom a heart attack.”  So, employing the services of my trusting sisters, we made sure that mom was going to be home […]

Friday, February 24, 2023 Another Carnaval has come and gone, but not without our classic carnaval experience.  (And to clarify, yes, it’s “carnaval” with all “a”s and not “carnival” with an “i”.) We left for the country-side Friday afternoon in our effort to beat out the majority of the other carnaval-goers who still had to […]

Friday, February 17, 2023 This first time I was introduced to Panama’s Carnaval celebration, really put life into a new perspective for me.  Mostly because the entire experience was a mixture of feeling completely alive from the adrenaline rush of seeing so many cute girls in skimpy outfits, combined with wishing you were dead from […]

Friday, February 10, 2023 The redcoats are coming… …or the sky may be falling.  Reports of “Iranian Warships” sailing toward the Panama Canal are on the rise.  The legitimacy of these reports are good enough.  I mean, two vessels did stopover in Brazil and are supposedly on their way here to Panama.  Some news outlets, […]

Friday, February 03, 2023 Last week, I mentioned that I’ve formulated my “Plan B” due to a series of indicators that I consider to be telling enough to do so.  I got several enquiries as to what my Plan B actually is.  First of all, I haven’t actually activated my plan… …I’m not moving anywhere […]

Friday, January 27, 2023 There’s a war going on in Panama that most of the expat community probably isn’t aware of, and for the most part, most probably don’t care.  However, being totally upfront, I’m creating a “Plan B” relocation plan, just in case.  That war is the US Government vs corruption in Panama.  This […]

Friday, January 20, 2023 I’m hooked on a coffee shop that not a lot of people know about and feel this urge to let my readers know about it.  I started going because it belongs to a friend of mine, Ricky Lopez, but now I don’t even bother calling him to let him know that […]

Friday, January 13, 2023 Well, summer is here and it’s time to get out grillin!  I’m no stranger to all types of consumable foodstuffs and will put just about anything on a grill; meats, veggies, fruits and even cooked a cherry cake in a dutch oven a few times.  But for Christmas, my beautiful wife […]

Friday, January 06, 2023 Today is Día de Los Reyes in Panama and although it shockingly isn’t giving us another official holiday, it’s still an important day for the Catholic-prone country.  In other Hispanic countries such as Mexico, Spain and Venezuela, it’s even more important for kids who await anxiously to receive even more gifts.  […]
