Panamanian Spanish


Panamanian Spanish is the Spanish language as spoken in Panama. It is also spoken by people of Panamanian descent in other countries, including the United States. It has some similarities with other Central American and Caribbean Spanish variants. Because of the close historical ties between the United States and Panama, including the American administration of the Panama Canal Zone for over 80 years, and military installations in Panama until the 1990s, Panamanian Spanish has absorbed much vocabulary from English.

Munich the Movie

The world was watching in 1972 as 11 Israeli athletes were murdered at the Munich Olympics. This is the story of what happened next.

Plot Summary:
During the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, eleven Israeli athletes are taken hostage and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September. In retaliation, the Israeli government recruits a group of Mossad agents to track down and execute those responsible for the attack. In the wake of 1972 Munich Olympic tragedy, the Mossad retaliates by deploying a team of agents (led by Avner(Bana)) in Europe to assassinate Palestinian terrorist leaders suspected of planning the attack, which left eleven Israeli athletes dead.

Comments: An Outstanding Thriller

Rating: 5 stars

I went this weekend to see Munich the movie was directed by S. Spielberg. Make sure that you go to the bathroom before it starts.

New Painting


















For those of you who are wondering what I have been up too. Well here is a painting (acrylic on canvas) that I just sold to my neighbors last month. They commissioned a painting for over their fire place. I started before Katrina and finished it in Dec.
Its amazing how this hurricane has interrupted everyone way of life and routine. We will never be the same.

New Puppy














We got a puppy after our Katrina exodus. Her name is Sheila E. She is mix pit with lab we think. Her coat is brindle all over.
She is very sweet and likes to eat pig ears yummy.

Chocolate What?















Our mayor R. Nagin lost his mind on Monday, January 16. His comments came in a speech, delivered on Martin Luther King Day with City Hall as a backdrop, in which the mayor said God intended New Orleans to rise again as a "chocolate city," which he defined as a "black-majority city." What he said has outraged the white, Hispanic and Vietnamese communities in the city of New Orleans. I think he meant well but he definitely needs a PR team to handle his speech's..Someone let him know Katrina has passed an he can come back to earth! Last time I checked it wasn't chocolate.
