Our Man in Antigua

damn…we’ve lost three good people this week: Camilla Aregius back to Sweden, Carla B off to the States for a few weeks and tomorrow? Matt B leaves Antigua for the sunnier shores of the Dominican Republic…’assuming that Carla returns, she was making noises about relocating to the Lake or Rio Dulce…ah,  the good ones leave…

thanks, Franklin of As Good as it Gets.org..great interview, xlnt background and I’ll start writing it tomorrow…Peter the Hodge at Ocelot briefly, looking great…some possibilities for the return of the Salty Beaver…he’s got other irons in the fire, fish to fry and pick your own metaphor..

big doin’s in the park! bands, displays, arts/crafts and a thingamagig put on by some governmental agency advising folks to wear their seat belts…right, as if..4 people on a moto, none with a brain bucket and let’s get folks to strap in..better to have a campaign for ‘honk twice when you’re reloading’..
