Generally I post new material here three times each week. Since January, I’ve uploaded the new posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the evening (Eastern Standard Time for me).
Some of you are probably wondering why I posted this video link here. What does this have to do with being an expat? The short answer is, “nothing at all.” The long answer is more complex. The gentleman playing the cello solo in this piece is Jonathan May. I first met him 16 or 17 Continue reading Bye Bye Miss American Pie* 
I have a confession to make. I love chocolate. It’s my drug of choice, my not-so-secret pleasure. That’s why I was tickled recently to find that Ecuador, one of the countries we’re considering as a place to live, is a good source of the luscious beans. According to MarketWire, “Where do the Swiss go to Continue reading Let the Chocolate Decide!  Guest Post by Brandi N. Grays
