This post discusses illness and medical practice in the Philippines. I have three health things that I’ve been juggling on this trip, food borne illness, a lousy cold, and some wonderful tropical “crud” that has attacked my skin. Today I finally got the “all clear” from the doctor; no pneumonia. My cold is getting better…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Well I finally got my new computer up and running. I wanted a machine that was fast with lots of storage and room to grow. I think I have achieved that and more. Unlike the strawman arguments found in the Apple advertisements where the PC is prepping for surgery to upgrade to Vista, I wanted…

I have been wondering lately who has the worst public relations and marketing division. After a few seconds of thought I came up with the following list: United States Department of Defense (especially the US Army) for its ongoing work in Iraq. Most Americans can name as many military victories by our Army in Iraq…

Dear Mr. Cameron, Please stick with fictional movies, oh, sorry you are. It is hard to get less factually accurate than Al Gore but you’re off to a good start. If it was really Jesus, why did you get to make this announcement? Do you possess some insight that real scholars lack? Where are the…
