Nearly four years ago, I visited Tikal with Amber, Saison, Dean, and Mariah. Very little has changed since that time. Most noticeably, more areas are restricted to the public – not to be considered a deterrent however as none of the signs are obeyed by anyone (well, I obeyed them) (mostly). The other thing that … [Read more…]
Driving to the World Heritage Site of Tikal in the Peten of Guatemala, one must be exceedingly cautious. (though I only saw 4 of the pictured animals the entire trip)
Pépère has arrived in Tactic and is now almost fully rested from his 6 weeks of hard work, building a school in Belize. Blaise is about 8 months older than he was when he first met his Pépère. The spend some good quality time together – walking, reading, eating. Pépère offered to slaughter a goat … [Read more…]

Houseflies now populate our house. I am not prepared to make concessions on their attempt to squat in my house. Therefore, we have turned to the power of the Fliegenfänger. Frogs (or perhaps they are toads – I never audited speciation or zoology in Univ.) now populate our yard. I kind of like them. They … [Read more…]
Sirdar Inc. posted a copy of John Cleese’s Letter to the United States. I remember reading it a few years ago. Brilliant. You can read it on Sirdar’s site or here.
Jesús Chavarria that is. This guy is awesome. He doesn’t stop traffic for you, but there is no way anyone is crossing the road if any vehicle is within a km from the crossing area. He’s at roadside from 6:50 am – 7:40 am and 12:20 pm – 12:50 pm every school day – just … [Read more…]
…in a river of molten lava, let ’em go, cause man, they’re gone! I climbed Volcano Pacaya with my sister, Saison a couple weeks ago. The hike lasted 2 hours to cover 4 kms (2.5 miles). The vertical increase was 800 m (about 2600 feet), the last 400 m was very steep and over volcanic … [Read more…]
I turned 30 on the day after the Ides of March and the day before St. Patrick’s Day. The only real difference I can see is that my gotee seems to be thicker, but it could just be soup… I spent my birthday morning teaching English and Music to grades 8-10. I then abruptly packed … [Read more…]
Saturday – I accidentally delete a scene from the film I’m working on. This just means redoing about 4 hours of work. Sunday – I have a headache. Then while we’re at church in the evening, our house is robbed of more than $8000 worth of stuff. Monday – I’m in a daze because I … [Read more…]
