I’m shocked!…Casablancas perpetual line from Claude Rains…its illegal in Guatemala…explain, por favor, all the casinos in the City….wash that $$..Shaun of O/lot’s birthday celebration? attended by the hard core…rum, beer, good wishes…great celebration..35? hell, my oldest daughter is that age..yep, i’m that old..older than dirt..Pangea’s expansion? i misread it, misunderstood it and i’m wrong…big time..it’s ready to rock..done 98% and looks great..manana en la noche..free food/booze..go..it works..Da Vinci continues to remove fixtures…soft opening coming..figure the public event in early May…LM excited about it all…Adan at Cafe Opera doing a version of Guantanamera..spelling? that i almost didn’t recognize…almost liked it..damn, he’s great…nelson back from nawleens…helped with a recording and played as a session musician on the tracks…the Rum Bum Bar? skipped the country owing six months of taxes and also stiffed ignacio the cuban…ooh..bad karma..Hector, not only playing music in the night is also coming up with new menu items…for me, i’m down for the rack of lamb…Robt de Oro reporting new catastrophes on the ‘river’ but not as bad as imagined…next up, a plague of locusts or the four horsemen of the apocalypse/eucalyptus/calypso…spel chek is off..i’m off..too many shots of 12 year botran for the birthday..too many friends and great stories..karla not feeling well but dishing out the product..my warthog neighbor is not on the schedule..a few days off per garbage pick up..brain damage? kudos to Bill Shetz of the American Legion..for trying to come up with/figure out a way for safe money transactions..not only for residents but for tourists…where the hell is BAC in this? answer..they don’t give a shit..Citibank might be safe..yes,the ATM is a 5B machine but they don’t appear to be running wireless data..per their age, it’s probably land lines altho after going by twice to talk with Ana Victoria(and not making the connection) I can only assume this..Yo Yo reports that the 5B machine in Bodegona is ‘safe’..no confirmation..
