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…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

Yep. I really dared to ask that question. Folks the book that everybody thinks they know probably doesn’t say what you think it does. In the last few years, I have been made aware of many fallacies and interpretive blunders that completely miss the point, often on purpose. Some errors are the result of false…

That sound you are hearing is the people’s brains (what’s left of them) at the local CRA chapter exploding on command. How could The Donald choose to work with a far-left crazy liberal? It’s easy, and it’s something I would advise the Democrats to do more often actually. If there are two things I wish…

One thing that was the topic of the last 3-4 sermons I heard at Sunday Service was that the school is in big financial trouble. This school and church are about 25 years old, give or take, so as far as buildings go they are “brand new.” The school is also at capacity as far…

As the year drew to a close, I have become more reflective on events of years past. Folks, I have a strained relationship with many in my family as a result of their coddling of my sister. One thing that always bothered me was my sister could never do anything wrong in their eyes. They…
