		<title>The Treehouse Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was a lucky child: I had a treehouse. At times, I wish I still had one. The escapism that a treehouse affords is incomparable and there is something about being held high above the ground by massive living things that really connects you to nature, makes you feel like you’ve entered another realm of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Driving in Panama: Lesson #1 THE HORN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was flipped the keys to the company truck a couple of days ago, and while cutting my teeth on the Panamanian jungle of roadways I made a few discoveries, the most important being the use of the car horn.

		<title>Paper in an Electronic World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I spent the day at the printer&#8217;s getting our big, beautiful brochure printed. It&#8217;s fun to see the huge printing presses at work. This particular one is about 80 feet long with giant piston-like moving parts that distribute ink over the plates evenly. There&#8217;s a giant piston and a plate for every color in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Furniture Finds in Panama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have just furnished our sales office and moved into a new house. As a result, I am an expert at furniture shopping in Panama and this post serves as my download. There is an abundance of cheap furniture stores here that lack the style and quality that we are used to. If you don’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>West Paces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just executed a hotel management agreement with The West Paces Hotel Group about an hour ago. We&#8217;ve been working with them for the last several months, and signed an LOI back in November. But it isn&#8217;t til now that we could really make the information public.
This is very exciting for us. Why we&#8217;re so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carnavales en Panama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forget New Orleans or Rio De Janero, Panama has its own party for Carnival. Although I don’t practice the 40 days of fasting known as Lent, I jumped at the opportunity to celebrate the binge that takes place beforehand. The largest celebration in the country takes place over four days in a small town on [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Hurricanes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While reviewing the (near) construction drawings for our model home last month, it became clear that the (US-based) structural engineers were designing systems capable of handling hurricane-force winds. An understandable tactic, I suppose, since we are all used to hearing about hurricanes battering the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and much of the US’s coasts every [...]]]></description>
