Our Man in Antigua

sign me up for one…my so-called observations about the town being empty of gringos boomeranged me today..bummerrang? ‘they’ were everywhere and to add to my dumbness, the guy who runs the Sunshine Grill observes the spanish school students in his barrio and says that on the weekends they take off for Monterico or the Lake…duh..o keen observer..and part 2 of the Rancho de Rockets..

Mike Chrisman aka Piano Mike is back and this Thursday/Friday, he and Moriah are singin’& playin’ at Caffe Bourbon..start time is 7:30, perfect for the ‘early bird/senor citizens’…’glad to see he’s home and even more so to hear them play..another musician seen, on crutches..Ignacio our Cuban maestro, looking good in white and minus a section of his right leg but that shouldn’t stop him on the congas..

Tom Martin aka Hillbilly Tom? putting on much needed lost weight and talking about getting a water pump/front brake rotors for the Beige Bomb…road trip! ‘thought there was a V8 race at the Cofino track this month but Rich the Neel says now that it’s November…damn..and I was getting in the mood for speed and spandex…I know, you’re thinking…have I ever not been in the mood for such? not often…

‘learned the difference between Medical Tourism and Medical Travel today, thanks to Lori Shea of Guatemala Medical Travel…thanks…this’ll’ be a good thing to write about..

the September issue of Our Man in Antigua-Stan is in the hands(so to speak)of the local printer..the book holders/boxes are being distributed hither,thither and yon…Amazon.com has it also…you know, Halloween is Coming and you could order some for your ‘people’…

‘Fast Eddie’ is back in town…’guess that the proposed marriage to the Minister of Whatever in Hungary/Poland’ daughter didn’t work out…as if there ever was a glimmer of hope..and the best dressed cop in town? Juan Mario Cervantes…starting to look almost as good as the Da Mayor, clothes-wise..being an Asesor Despacho Ministerial must be workin’ for him…he knew about the rapes of last month but was surprised…I think, to hear of the two shootings out Manchen way..but then again, I wouldn’t want to play poker with him…Walter Fischer and partners rolling out the newly revised Antigua City Bus Tour in ten days..let this work..it’s a good concept..
