referring to the $200 a pair Cole-Haan shoes that I had to have as part of an Art Deco Society wing-ding in San Francisco back in the late 1900’s…the dark closet let some mold attack ’em…no, not even a wipe-down with cheap vodka killed the microbes..a dusting with the ‘buck bag’ made a little difference…ah, the things that make up my life, eh?
the choppers are back today, circling Antigua again…but keeping a lot of altitude this time..the Capitalinas likewise circling but at street level…looking good, smelling great…the Maya marimba band set up by los Arcos…where’s our Mime and Mr Dory the magician?
Joe C of Houses to Homes back from a week in New Jersey and hated every minute of it…Reed slipped outa town last week, back to Chicago, as did Roberto de Oro..we..those of us who live here full-time can only appreciate hearing from those who come and go, just how lucky we are…this is heaven/paradise and I, for one, am damned glad I found it..4 years ago this month.
Congrats to Shaun and wife for the latest addition to the family..born last night(Cinco del Mayo)…’couldn’t happen to a nicer couple…the ever marvelous Marvel seen(and waving)about 10:30, on her way to the afternoon shift at Dos Reilly’s..MDC and family washing off the new car and going somewhere…the latest version of ‘Our Man’ up and so on at CreateSpace..an updated version every two weeks…this week, an appointment with Sophos, the largest bookstore in the City re the ‘book’..he’s read it, likes it and ‘bob’s your uncle’..
no, i haven’t been out/around for a few evenings…gotta finish a ‘project’ first…yeah, me work? I can and I have…tentative title is ‘Sex on a raft, with Ma and Pa Kettle’..think ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ but 30 years older..hell, that describes me…the super full moon last night? great..local clouds kinda obscured it..either that or the ‘meds’ did something..no news from my 94 year old astrologer mom about the 600 year special Venus/Sun transit…just more New Age hoopla/disinformation, I suspect..I’m getting the sense that 2012 aka Dec 21 or so is gonna be like the Y2K event…nada, zip, bagels, zilch…a great advertising moment/sign up for seminars/woo-woo stuff..when the liquor distributors start floggin’ it, that’s when I’ll start believing in it..
Peter Hodge! checking in from %$#@ China!…he’s apparently alive and well(comparitively speaking)…whew, whatta change…from the Salty Dog to Wang Dang Doo, outside of Upper Wun Hung Low? gotta admire his spirit, and I always have…go Peter..
