And here I sit in Bogota...
This deal making stuff is frustrating.
Yesterday I sat in our Colombian partner's office all morning, trying to move things forward, moving in so many directions at once that nothing got done.
My partner from Boquete is recovering from an altitude caused lung problem so I was on my own all morning. Finally, we had a lunch meeting, seemingly making progress.
But not!
Most of the afternoon I sat in the hotel, getting nothing done.
Frustration!
Now, this morning, we are still sitting in the hotel.
Things seem to be happening. New business opportunities appear and disappear and re-appear and get lost.
Up, down, sideways...
I know that we will eventually get a deal done.
Colombia is an rapidly developing or emerging nation in the area of international raw materials. We are at the right time, the right place and I trust that it will happen.
I just don't like the frustration.
Fortunately, my Boquete partner is a master at this type of work. I feel lucky to be working with him. And, I learn much in the process.
So, at this point, I will quit bitching.
Thanks for listening!

Love Your Posts, Tom. Right there with You! In my job we just interviewed and hired my replacement, as is obvious, my work is coming to a close there, as the skeleton of what is wanted in the accounting and computerization is now framed, and gelling... she can easily fill in the blanks and manage the accounting. Very interesting to see You playing in this area. You have a good mind, and with your surrender to this need, I, too, would expect good things (or at least good assessment of what IS there!) Love, Darshan
Thanks, Darshan. I imagine everything has changed with Social Security coming in...much freedom in the financial realm.
And completion of your organizational help for this plumber. What a gift! He probably doesn't even know yet what you have done for him!
Is India in your near future?
Love, Tom
