When It Rains, It Pours

I don't travel much from Panama...maybe an annual trip to the US.

In a couple of days, I am going to Cuba for 2 weeks. This hopefully will be treat, seeing a country that has not progressed much in the socioeconomic area since the revolution about 50 years ago.

When I get back, I immediately go to Colombia for a week.

Phew! Mucho travel for this guy.

Our efforts to develop a mining business in Colombia are starting to take off.

My friend has been diligently working on this for over 18 months. In the middle of all the frustration and set backs, he has finally got a great lead on some business.

So off to Colombia we go to take a look and get something going for real.

This is a lot of travel for me. I do enjoy traveling and the Colombia part should be paid for by otheres. I anticipate that a good time will be had by all....we'll see.

Meanwhile, yesterday and today I am working. Real work...writing reports...not my favorite thing to do but necessary. I forgot how much work, work is.

My back aches, my head is befuddled, and there is a certain joy to being productive once again.

I admit it. I do like to work. And I have missed it in retirement.

Nothing like being a contribution to fill the soul with satisfaction and joy.

So I am off to work...

Yay! I think I don't like to work, but I secretly Love it! so, I treat work a lot like most men treat pornography. Your back to backs to Cuba and Panama gave me a 'work' boner... I am working for a friend who owns a plumbing company, setting up his accounting and bookeeping... and I thought I hated computers and computerization. so far, everything is working - but always how it works, and not necessarily how I want IT to work! Happy for these challenges to arise in your path, it is good for You! (at least as good as the Fun Stuff!) Love You, Darshan

Here's to all the closet work lovers!

You're doing the tuff I used to do in the 80's...I call it straightening out the spaghetti bowl, trying to unsnarl the tortured path of doing business in most small businesses. Not hard to do once someone puts their attention on it. Have fun wrestling the mighty electron!

Love, Tom
