I know I should be writing most days.  Always something that I find interesting.  But that I am not has me thinking that I am starting to settle in.  Things that would otherwise stand out in contrast to life in north america are becoming simply life here in Panama.  Waking up to no electricity or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been away a lot and when home in Potrerillos, trying hard to keep up with Steve and Paul for their never ending ideas and energy.

		<title>Retirement in Panama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a great morning.   It is as expected, about 22 degrees C, a few clouds, sun starting to shine on the slopes of the Volcan Baru and the Calderra mountain range.  The whole cacophony of so many birds that we still do not recognize.  In a few minutes, the beauty of the morning will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panama  &#8211;  One Month In&#8230;</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we did church at someone&#8217;s home in Boquete.  There were about 30 of us, and with desserts and coffee starting off the occasion, we then sang a bit, watched a Brian McLaren video, discussed it, prayed for one another, then continued to enjoy one another&#8217;s company.  Lynda and I met some new people, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Neighbourhood Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realized today that I have begun to redefine efficiency and the measure by which things are accomplished.  I consider today&#8217;s achievements to have been most successful.  Over the course of 6 hours, we moved mountains.

		<title>A Song of Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ahhh&#8230;  the beauty of a MacBook Pro  -  sitting outside in the darkness, the sounds of the night busy all around.  And the only light comes from my screen and the incredible keyboard with the lit keys.  The only thing Apple needs to figure out is how to stop the bugs from landing all over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cardboard and Eggs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a great day&#8230;.
We decided today that we needed to buy a table and chairs  -  you know, the things you use to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The house we are renting is quite nice, but it was missing a few outdoor items, like a table and chairs.  So, we drove into David, and [...]]]></description>
