We are in the US….
Hello All,
We are in the US. For those whom I was not able to tell directly via email, in person or by phone, I am sorry. But here we are, in State College, 16801, US of A. It has been an interesting journey so far. A journey that was complicated by a robbery 1 week ago.
Felisa, myself and the girls were at an internet cafe in Panama City. At some point, due to distraction of the girls, Felisa’s purse was stolen with her license (Georgia and Panama) ATM and credit cards and national ID and $500 this has severely complicated our settling process. But we have been blessed and the friendliness of friends and acquaintances in Panama and State College has been great.
State College so far has been a wonderful place to be. Yes, we know in a few months it will be white and freezing but it comes with the territory, literally.
Here are some pics…more to come soon
peace an’ luv,

Leaving on a jet plane…
Hi Everyone,
Some of you know, others not. My family continues our nomadic ways, we are moving to State College from Panama. Felisa was recently offered a job as a professor to teach Supply Chain Management in the business school at Penn State University. Lots of changes are about to happen. weird that we are leaving while Panama is about to explode of the map. But things are changing again, but for the best. There are many opportunities and State College is a wonderful place to raise kids, and Felisa will be able to really pursue her true passion…teaching. This is what makes the move so bitter-sweet.
Anyway that’s the long and short of it.
To our friends and family in Panama we miss you already, to our friends and fam’ in the US, wi soon com’.
peace an’ luv

Young, Gifted, and Not Getting Into Harvard - New York Times
ON a Sunday morning a few months back, I interviewed my final Harvard applicant of the year. After saying goodbye to the girl and watching her and her mother drive off, I headed to the beach at the end of our street for a run.
It was a spectacular winter day, bright, sunny and cold; the tide was out, the waves were high, and I had the beach to myself. As I ran, I thought the same thing I do after all these interviews: Another amazing kid who won’t get into Harvard.
That used to upset me. But I’ve changed.
