Article by Mike Williams Termites! We’ve all heard of them or experienced them in one fashion or another. For some, these insects are nothing more than a problem that others deal with. For others, termites can be a costly and time consuming problem that must be treated. When identifying the total cost of termite treatment, [...]
Article by Termite Police The desire of a homeowner is to maintain the superb quality of his house. This is, however, not a simple goal to achieve especially when poor maintenance is done.

As with numerous other types of bug infestations, many people finding themselves with a termite infestation assume that they can buy a termite treatment from a store and do the job themselves. Well, in some circumstances where there is a infestation in a relatively small structure, well away from the main building this might be [...]

The most important step necessary for building a playhouse is choosing a good spot. When we build our sweet home, location seems to be our first priority. In the same way while building a playhouse we should also give importance to the location and spot. It is essential to have good playhouse plans to choose [...]
Dog doors are extraordinarily handy to your dog to wander in and out of the house whenever your canine wishes to.

Go figure – of course I read another book (I should knock out another one before I leave). The Secret History of the American Empire – A. A book about the corruption and pressure that results in corporations essentially “running” the world. It scares the crap out of me.
I´ve yet to write about what has happened this month because my keyboard is broken…and so is my backup keyboard. I´ll write an entry when I´m down in Managua next week. But until then… The Final Solution – D. The only reason I don´t give this book an F is because I could understand it. [...]
This bug flew into my house the other night and just would not leave. It was so big I thought it was a bat, I trapped it under a container before throwing it out in the yard, but it definitely made me even more jumpy.
May 14th – June 5th While Friday nothing exciting went down, things finally started rolling on the 15th. I woke up and caught the 5 AM bus to León, only to find that there were 3 busses instead of one. It turns out that 2 of the busses were for the university students. “If you’re [...]
Finally an explanation! It was weird writing a formal email to somebody with the same last name as me. Mr. Goggins, I have received several dozen emails from government workers in Manchester as well as potential voters regarding certain policies. I assume that you or somebody else has mistakenly written my email address on some [...]
April 23rd to May 2nd The weekend prior to my trip into Managua, I did whatever I could to kill the time. The inability to start something makes me feel like I’m in some sort of volunteer purgatory. The only thing I can do is sit and wait around for weeks at a time. However, [...]
I’ve been reading up a storm again. Living Poor: A Peace Corps Chronicle – A. This book is about a 48 year old PCV from the 1960′s. I loved it because it was the first Peace Corps book I actually related to. It didn’t totally glamorize our job as Peace Corps volunteer, but instead focuses [...]
April 15th – April 22nd Since I canceled my business workshop this week, I didn’t have much to do. I headed to the cyber the morning only to discover that the NGO that I collaborate with (they make the copies, find the people, provide food) had neglected to inform any of the people that I [...]
April 5th – April 13th
The 5th was my last day in Achuapa before heading down to Managua for my COS conference. I got my stuff together in the morning, did a semi workout (it’s tough with one good knee), and went to the German NGO to talk to the director. Unfortunately he wasn’t [...]
No more plantars warts.
I probably have a torn meniscus in my left knee.
April 2nd – April 3rd
Friday I woke up early and took my morning jog. I’ve got some personal fitness goal that I’ve had that I seem to be finally reaching, but as of late I’ve been running into some speedbumps. I tweaked my knee while stretching 3 to 4 weeks ago and it [...]
The Blue Bear – B+. About a Alaskan tour guide and the friendship he formed with a Japanese photographer. A good book, but there was something about the writing style that just didn´t click with me. I just can´t put my finger on it.
March 22nd – April 1st
My birthday started out well – I got up and worked out and got a phone call at 6:30 from my friend Johani and her family. I walked over to their house and ate a homemade chicken soup with her parents for lunch before heading back home. True to [...]
March 15th – March 21st
I started off the week a little slower than I usually do. I attribute this to two things, 1 – I knew I’d be busy at the end of the week; 2 – I was in the middle of the last Harry Potter book. I never thought I’d actually [...]
March 9th – March 14th
The incredible amount of free time I’ve had lately has left me restless. I decided that I definitely couldn’t tolerate it until I’m done with my service, so Tuesday I headed to the German NGO to see what else I could do. I broke down my plight to the [...]
February 21st – March 4th
After running a few errands the morning of the 21st, I ran to Malpaisillo for the day to drop off some books for Brie. The entire week I was super busy with planning my business workshop, planning classes with counterparts, and going to the TEPCE (the monthly teachers planning meeting). [...]
January 27th – February 21st
With the end of the month rapidly approaching, I spent the 27th and 28th wrapping up the details for my business workshops with the agricultural workers that I will start giving in February. Furthermore, I was super busy doing business advising projects around town and pulling together the final [...]
December 9th – January 26th
My last couple days in Nicaragua before my big trip to the States were pretty good. The Thursday before I left (the 10th), I headed down to Managua for yet another appointment with my incompetent dermatologist. I showed up, having heeded her advice by applying a specific acid, only [...]
So I finished the 5th Harry Potter book:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - A. I really enjoyed this book and like the new dark turn the series has taken. It’s a shame it’s taken me so long to get into reading, but I’m glad I finally picked up this series, though I was [...]
December 1st – December 6th
This week was marked by a lot of nothing. I finished the 4th book of Harry Potter and started the 5th one, but overall nothing much happened. I thought that this year, now that I’ve started reading a lot, I wouldn’t be nearly as bored as I was last [...]
November 22nd – November 30th
I got into Malpaisillo around lunchtime and was able to get a free lunch (they said there was no such thing!) at Brie’s neighbor’s house, and later that day we had a tasty dinner as well. Things were looking good – I was well fed, I was going into León [...]
November 13th – November 22nd
The 13th, the day after the competition, Brie and I caught a morning bus to Achuapa where we rolled in around 11. This marked the use of the more luxurious items that I tend not to use because I’m a cheapskate – like my fan and toaster over (big energy [...]
October 28th – November 11th
The Thursday of the 29th the lawyer from the German women’s NGO came in to speak with my kids about her job. With it being the first presentation, I was a tad nervous about the outcome – how would it go over with my kids? To promote more participation, I [...]
My pictures from my trip are on my facebook. For those of you without facebook, here´s the link for your enjoyment:

September 29th – October 6th
I’d love to say that some exciting stuff happened this week, but I can’t. I spent the entire week helping my kids prepare their presentation and improve their business plan [...]
September 23rd – September 28th
Wednesday I did a bit of running around to plan my classes and also to help my winning business group get ready for the competition. Combined with a trip to Johani’s house to hang out with her and her family, I was pretty “busy” the whole day.
On Thursday, I woke [...]
September 16th – September 22nd
Just as I was getting over my longing for puppy I showed up Johani’s farm where I met their new random dog. It’s a couple months old, and just wandered onto their farm one day and wouldn’t go away. After warming up to me, we became good friends with [...]
September 9th – September 11th
Once again, I had class cancelled on Wednesday. While this was nothing new, I went about my day like I have the past couple of weeks. I kept practicing my cooking and came down with symptoms of a stomach illness. Fortunately, it appears that it turned out to be just [...]
September 1st – September 9th
The most exciting part of the 1st and 2nd was planning for my classes. With Independence Day celebrations approaching on the 14th, the kids end up forgoing class to practice playing the drums/xylophone/dancing. Even though I get a break from class (the 9th and 10th mark 4 consecutive weeks [...]
August 19th – August 21st
My first full day back after a long weekend was not as action packed as I thought it’d be. My class in my campo school was cancelled, and I also learned that my classes in my other schools would be cancelled the following day as well. Thank god I [...]
July 22nd to July 31st
The 22nd was much like any other Wednesday for me – I went to my campo school to teach. The previous week none of my kids had anything ready to present in class, but this time they all had their marketing (though I wanted their entire business plan, it’s better [...]
American Taboo: A – A book about a the murder of in 1976 of a Peace Corps volunteer by another volunteer in 1976. The government hushed everything to protect the program, instead of defending the girl who was killed. Good book.
