as opposed to a Tequila Sunrise…’might not have to light off the usual night fire tonight…the jury is still out…jeez, Ocelot’s 5 O’Clock Lush Hour packed…SRO and the patio…Lava taking the overflow..Braulio, the new improved version of Pangea(they’re gone, stick a fork in ’em)empty..”Ginski”, aka Marty the Aussie staying on top of the cocktails and more importantly, the tabs..thanks, Reed, for the cocktail…whew…
Claudia #1 aka the Delicious, sighted going up 5ta before her 6 o’clock start at Da Vinci..is this still Monday? i have to ask, given that I skipped a day last week…per my daily journal, which is usually good…yep, skipped Wed or Thursday,which ran me a day ahead til sunday…brain damage? CRS..can’t remember shit…
this weeks first local press run of 25 is oversold..damn..Our Man in Antigua is taking off…25 next week and so on and so forth…place your orders for personal delivery…hell, i might even sign ’em…Ron Fortin(the sax guy)has a killer concept about spanish schooling…i’ll keep you informed, after the interview manana..Luis, my inside guy at INGUAT, now driving the tour buses from Puerto Quetzal…yeah, he’s stoked..
what became a minor observation about Reed’s jungle boots…the latest version in desert tan..became a very unusual chat between a few of us Viet Nam vets…who never, ever talk about ‘those times’…great stories, laughter and memories galore…I gave him two prescriptions for stuff he acquired there…medics are known for their sick humor..of which i’m no exception.
ran into Lori S of Gautemala Medical Travel…gotta add an expanded piece about her good works..’thinkin’ that the First Edition is about to be the 2nd Edition..yeah, i skimped on people, here and there…’walked back from O’lot to the Finca…it’s an ok walk but…evenings are easier in a tuk-tuk..
and i’ m back to writing again: this place, this minor paradise, is good for me…i’m noticed that there are remainders of jade boulders slabbed by the Ridingers, here and there..that stuff is heavy..take it from me, as i’ve left more than one boulder by the river rather than carry it up hill…and i thought that carrying 50kgs of ruby was a bitch…not even close..a giant tip of the panama to jay and mary lou..pioneers and the guatemalan version of indiana jones, mr and mrs…
read an article about colombia’s president saying ‘let’s decriminalize drugs’…a mexican author commented by saying that Guatemala is the ‘front office for Hell’..ooh…good comments, great press..go INGUAT! spin that one..come to Hell and have a great time..honk twice when they’re reloading..light my fire? c’mon, baby, light my fire…alas, jim morrison..ah, the doors..you remember, right?
