which, for an early Thursday is about all there is: ‘still reflecting on the ‘Ignacio Event’ and what that might mean…it certainly puts a hole in the Antigua live music scene, which is getting smaller…there’s Nelson, Ron Fortin, TLG and the Mescalitos…Adan and Piano Mike…anyone I’m not including here? the earlier nap that I thought would restore some of my vim/vigor obviously didn’t, and showering/changing clothes and going back into town seems like too much of a job.
I think some of this ennui is due to the recent departures of some confreres I’d come to know better this year…’enjoyed their conversations, mutual travels/adventures..stuff like five sitting around a table and when asked the question, ‘how many have been in jail?’ all five raised our hands…where you gonna find demographics like that? its probably just a function of our ages, like getting excited over seeing a display in Bodegona of Rose Mateus…and then tripping on Cold Duck, Lambrusco and Rossi’s Red Mountain swill…I’m lookin’ down the barrel of my 68th in a month…never/ever imagined living this long(and it shows)..
big tip of the panama to Isadore Michas for catching the story in El Periodico about our mayor… http://www.elperiodico.com.gt/es/20120502/pais/211589/
per Is, the mayor had all the copies in town pulled..it’s not that surprising as all politicians take/use favors…its part of the job description and to be honest, I really like our mayor..zapata mustache and all…gotta be embarrassing: ‘call on Line 2, your honor…Otto Perez would like a word..’ ‘adolfo! my pal…que paso?’
ok…it’s 4:51 and close enough for a ‘5 o’clock pop(drinkie poo)..seems like there are some interesting astronomical events coming…a super/clear/near full moon this weekend and a once in 600 year Sun/Venus transit/orbit…maybe there is something about 2012 bur we’ll have to wait and see..to hear the way some of my New Age friends talk(not that i listen) this could be bigger than the Harmonica Convergence.4:54 now…the will of iron(a six iron)…screw it..slurp it..fine…I told you earlier that this was ‘lite’ night and so on…gotta couple of projects…a kazoo band for next years semana santa and producing a line of ‘glow in the dark’ plastic jesus’ for the dashboard…need angel $$…and thanks, Bull Durham for the early delivery of yet again a superb batch of Tecpan pork chops/ribs..James Durham, La Rosa Cristal on 3rd calle…the best in pork! no, i didn’t say ‘porking’….pork! go by, get the list, the prices are good and it’s once a week delivery(thursday pm)..i quit..enjoy the fin de semana..
