Our Man in Antigua

‘always wondered just what the hell that referred to and I may get a chance next Saturday…’ran into Roberto Fraser of the Rainbow Cafe yesterday morning, on his way to a cricket match in the City…the El Salvador cricket team, disbanded for a couple of years, is back! The City group has found a patch of grass large enough and there’s another match scheduled for next weekend…yeah, I’m going..

ah, the 3rd Annual Noche de Chefs? a sold-out crowd, some 300 tickets sold…idiot that I am, I didn’t read the tiny print on the ticket that said dinner started at 7pm, ‘en punto’…when I went by to pick up ‘her’, the taxi and I were on time but…half an hour later, it was obvious that this $$ was going to charity: I would’ve called Faith or Hope but they were out…simply put, I bagged it and I was looking good, too..postscrpt:: one of our more prominent restauranteurs walked out of the ‘Dinner’…disgusted with the food, service, attitude and the staff…you could say that he drove off in a huff but I think he was driving the van…’makes me glad I didn’t, etc..for those of you following the ‘4 Pigs/Land Rover’ piece, here’s the last part…

the new Budweiser VIP room in what was Pangea’s Lounge? wall to wall/shelf to shelf bottles of Budski’s…I don’t get it but thats typical for me of  lot of things…and I’m still taken a back by  Ignacio’s loss of his leg…what’s he gonna do or?  makes one reflect on stuff like that and I complain about my feet hurting? shuddup about it..

Loris Shea and Mike Chrisman organizing a fare-the-well dinner at her place this afternoon, for the pending departure Tuesday of yet another ‘snowbird’…Roberto de Oro of Chicago leaves us again. Sis’ Barb still doing therapy after the surgery…I guess its just our assorted age group of the retired…where Depends has another meaning.

If you run into Jim O at Ocelot on Friday pm’s, when some of the ‘unidicted co-conspirators’ gather, ask him about the Technology Corridor or the Transoceanic corridor..or was it cuspidor? my memory or lack of it, you know…ah…the controversial ‘Lips’ story of the strip club in San Salvador? Dan not happy with the press coverage…the usual misquotes, innuendos,slanted versions…I like the place or more correctly I enjoy talking with him in the back office, as he’s got a helluva history…some of the girls aint’ bad either..
