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…

As William blogged, the No Kings protests happened again last weekend. Sure, there was a decent turnout, but the protestors are paid. These events are financed by a billionaire in China. Oh, and billionaire George Soros threw in 72-million dollars as well. A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined…

Bloggers note: Yes, I am aware Sheriff Cooper is a Democrat. He was once in the State Assembly and held a leadership position. I also understand he has either 2 wives/girlfriends/baby mommas etc. I have also heard through the grapevine that he is a piece of work morally and personally. I am also aware I…

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Tomorrow is when the Church commemorates Jesus’ triumphant procession into the city of Jerusalem. If you recall, a few short days later, the same crowds that welcomed him went from shouting “Hosannah” to “Crucify Him”. “We have no king but Ceasar.” In like manner, crowds of…
