Not again. This must be a dream. These things ran through my mind at 2AM this morning as I was awakened by yet another band playing loud drums and bugles. Where am I? What time is it? Oh yes, it is November 28 and the day that Panama gained independence from Spain. A country having [...]

I decided to have my Thanksgiving today. Thursday, there was no one here to recognize my annual traditional dinner with.
I only bought a turkey breast, giblet gravy and some stuffing. Some vegetables will round out the meal. Only three people to eat everything and I don’t want any leftovers.

There was a bicycle race going on in David today. I understand that it is called Vuelta Ciclista de Chiriquí. I may be wrong on the name, but that is what I understood. From what I hear it is supposed to take place through out Chiriquí. I guess it is sort of the Tour de [...]

Today was the day I agreed to assist Professor Quiroz in his English Translator Preparatory class. I arrived early at David’s Universidad Latina. This is in keeping with my old type “A” personality which never allows me to be late. I got one photo in the front of the University.
Professor Quiroz met me outside and [...]

I understand that there will be Social Security Reform protests tomorrow in Panama City. When there are protests in Panama City there are usually some in David as well. That could mean that I will have pass on my weekly trip to PriceMart. Darn and I was looking forward to some TCBY Yogurt.

Another utility I have been trying that I found in PCWORLD is FreeMem. I have been curious if I had enough memory on my PC and I decided to try this utility and find out. I have been surprised to see how much memory I had left after everything loaded from a fresh boot.
It made [...]
