Our Man in Antigua

`might be an interesting twist…bring back William Hurt…Raul Julia`s dead, alas. Speaking of dead, that´s how the town was on Thursday night, especially after the thunder/lightning and rains…the new `hole in the wall` joint, Mayan Moon?…attracted small crowd of afterwork `service people´` last night…in the street, beers/cigarettes…who imagined? Henrik of dos Reilly´s….back from Denmark et al, standing in the door of his place…welcome home….per Marcel, Neil of Pangea is returning soon…`thought I heard the 4th of June and a good thing. The place needs Neil back at the helm, as its been seemingly drifting somewhat (well, I think so)…A Bell on his mornings off (hah) doing tours for the turistas…Peter the Hodge and LM outside Banco Industrial….he likes the idea of the signature drink, a Salty Dog…grapefruit juice plus gin/vodka….I forget but the idea sounded good so there´s a container of grapefruit juice in the bag….after I finish this…yep, moviestar´s down but for the last time. I pulled the trigger and said yes to the move up the street….into what was Zaika/el Palacio de India…..i know, its´weird….did you expect more or less? they have wi-fi plus….alll good stuff…

another question…with the return of the rains, little green stuff is sprouting in the streets…and the city has people out there spraying herbicide…fuggedabout contamination..but wouldn’t the streets look better with green stuff? jusk askin’…looks good to me, but then I need glasses..’looking for mover’s next week…, not much…a pickup load…hell, two runs in a taxi might work..’noticed the latest mayoral/alcalde flyers…a little clenched fist, orange…patriot colors…on a radio antenna..is this a return of ‘mano duro?’ aka ‘im a patriot and we’re gonna stamp out crime?’…god knows that Colon..no, Colom..hasn’t been an elliot ness/elliot spitzer kinda tough on crime prez…imagine the conversations with he and Saaandra at night…turn over, baby…right..pussy-whipped, to say the least/worse…Lava? announcing real US pickles!  gorgonzola coming!…right..that’s always my shout-out late at night…GORGONZOLA!

more clues of my mental status

Major kudos and a tip of the panama to Brendan B….fate dumped crap in his lap and he took care of other peoples problems…in an exemplary fashion…they should be grateful to have found him..ask him, if you feel like it.

the Foreign Exchange Night at Lava? went well, to all reports…I bailed early, as usual….likewise for last nights El Muro wingdig, the last Thursday in May celebrating their one year anniversary with free pops/drinks…i´d gotten wet anyway,  i rationalized to myself later. 

Let´s see…things to do today….library, go by and see if they can paint the bedroom a different color, go back later for the laptop/modem at moviestar, concoct a Salty Dog but also add a splash of tonic water for the fizz….gotta have fizz, right? el caminante´s friday  night  event….
