I love the USA. But tonight, wearing this shirt, I feel conflicted. The sudden gutting of USAID isn’t just politics—it’s people losing food, medical aid, & support. Cutting aid overnight, then scrambling for waivers, is reckless. I’ll always love my country, but I won’t pretend this isn’t shameful.

Traffic accidents are pretty bad in Cambodia. Drivers don’t follow the law and/or are uneducated. Luckily, the moto driver here wasn’t terribly hurt. Could have been much worse!

Saturday morning: watching Tyson vs. Paul, enjoying a little snuggle time with Ziggy, and hit a new 10k PR earlier. Perfect!

Recently, my kids (led by my wife) joined an etiquette class at school. Parents were invited to a dinner where we sat with others' kids for etiquette practice. Unique, yet feasible for small schools. Etiquette learning: often overlooked, but so important. #expatlife #cambodia

Meet PFC Goodlin from a billion years ago.
During my two-year stint in the Marines, I learned respect, self-pride, and discipline. A medical issue forced my discharge, which I resisted. During my appeal, I was grouped with Marines eager to exit. It was a super depressing time of my life.

Oh, rainy season in Sihanoukville, what a pain in my ass! The downpours sneak up on you like an unwelcome guest, leaving you drenched and miserable. But hey, at least you get the occasional rainbow to momentarily distract you from the endless onslaught. Just a few more months of this watery hell…

Good morning and Happy Wednesday (2 more days till TGIF). Just a reminder - even a little time with your kiddos can make a world of difference to them. So, let's take in every free moment, no matter how short.

It's that time of year when we experience incredible electrical storms and unpredictable weather. Not to mention, the cloud formations are sick! I managed to capture this one while out on a bike ride, using just my iPhone.
