I love this word. It’s not in the dictionary. Just a bit of trivia: You may have noticed this word on a sign suspended above the area just beyond TSA at Mitchell Field. It’s where you put your shoes back on and put all your stuff back the way it was…after being discombobulated. I searched for this word one day and found that it is a jocular neologism utilized by one of the security managers. I can’t find the reference now, but I still love the word.
I finally feel like I am settled and back to my routine. First morning routine: coffee and calligraphy.
I spent some time today meeting with Chris McCall, one of the Boquete Health & Hospice (BHH) volunteers. He was showing me how to use the new program (Bubble) he hopes we will ultimately choose to build the BHH database. I started working on the database last year while here using Excel, and I ran into snags, which neither I nor any of my geeky friends could solve. I was starting a search to find an Excel expert, and Chris thought that was a bad idea and suggested this program instead. After our meeting this morning my head is spinning. We’ll see. Bottom line: I love technology, and I love a challenge…IF it is fun. We’ll see.
I walked into town and back this morning. It’s way more of a walk than necessary or desirable on a daily basis. It just takes too long. It’s about seven miles round trip. I think I’ll try walking in and taking the bus back.
Here are a couple of shots from my morning excursion. The photo of the rainbow was taken a couple of days ago in the midst of bajareque, which is a very, very light rain shower. It is one of the things I found enchanting about Boquete when we first visited here in 2008. You cannot see bajareque unless you look up toward the sky, and then you can see what look like tiny insects flying about. Those are the raindrops. It is the lightest mist. I remember the first time it happened. I asked Dan if it was raining because I could feel the tingling on my skin, but I couldn’t see any rain. It is during bajareque that one can see many rainbows at the same time.

Chris, Iām really enjoying your photos and explanations of your surroundings. A couple days ago you mentioned a connection via an old knitting friend. I love it when we make connections because of the relationships we develop through a love of a craft. Beautiful!
Your calligraphy is looking very professional. Impressive š
Hi Chris – Long time no see! I’m enjoying your blog of the annual trip to Boquete. The temp here in Central Indiana is 6 — really missing Boquete when it’s so cold. Love seeing the videos and pictures. And it’s only $450 a month!! Love it.
