Haiti Trip; Day Five: I just saw my reflection in a bathroom mirror and I nearly scared myself to death. In fact, in a twisted and ironic kind of way, I look more like a resident of Titanyen than the guy trying to bring them some dignity…lol. Man, I am going to need a makeover

Haiti Trip; Day Four: Today was “Flag Day” in Haiti. As a result, my docket of meetings was less hectic than normal, and I was able to avoid spending very much time in a car navigating the brutal roads of Port au Prince. (*MEMO TO SELF: Plan more trips to Haiti when National Holidays are

Day Six:  It is Monday morning and I am back in Port au Prince after spending two days in Mole Saint-Nicolas. While nobody can predict the future, I would not be surprised if the events of the last 48 hours will be talked about for years to come. While this space doesn’t allow for great

  Day Five: The morning sun and a neighbor’s rooster (who I have affectionately named “Dead-If-I-Can-Catch-Him”) have played their sleep-spoiler role to perfection. So be it.

Day Four: It’s a little before 1:30 AM and I am finally able to jot down a few highlights before I pass out. Today, I experienced several moments of profound intrigue as I found myself interacting with historical members of Haiti’s past and its future. In fact, for much of the day I felt so
