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.

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 have been getting a ration of crap lately from a few people asking me why I blog and why I select the topics that I do. As for blogging, blame Hugh Hewitt’s book, Blog. My answer to why is simple; I blog for me. When I pick a topic, it’s usually for one of…

I went to the once golden state to attempt to accomplish a few things. Sadly, a few didn’t materialize. I didn’t visit or have any contact with a person mentioned elsewhere on the blog and the blog staff meeting fell through due to some family issues on their part. On the plus side, I did…
