My daily routine involves DU

My Filipina wife and I retired to the Philippines (just outside of Iloilo City in the Central Philippines).

We have a very nice place, which is a working farm and an American style house with all the amenities.

There is a 12-hour difference between here and EDT. So, I wake in the morning. Have breakfast and spend about an hour and a half in the sun, at my pool. Here's where you guys come in. I have satellite TV, so I have a worldwide view of the news. And as is obvious, have an internet connection.

When I sit by the pool and go for a dip, I think about a post for DU for the day, it is posted at odd hours for EDT, but it's usually 1:00 PM in the afternoon here.

Sometimes, when a big event happens during the day in Washington or New York, I post in the morning here (which will be 9:00 PM EDT). In that case, every 15 or 20 minutes I come back into my house to check the replies and continue to post my replies.

So, in conclusion of this post, I just want to say "Thank You" to the DU community for keeping me connected to America and help me pass the time while I am retired in paradise.

Have you seen Orrex's Is He Dead Yet posts? They have become a morning tradition.

Enjoy!
