Our Man in Antigua

I wish…thank you, one and all, for all the ideas/hints and suggestions…arnica, that gym, exercises and if it ain’t over by Monday, it’s Ivori farmacia and the ol jab in the butt trick…one thing on a positive note is that since I’m not going out at night, I’m saving $$..if i had been this week i probably would’ve known that Nelson, our wandering pianist is back…playing PV on Sundays and has a great gig at the AIS school teaching piano… and a good thing, in this, the slowest of the slow times…one major venue for live music has canned the music. Could Ignacio come back and get a discount for one less leg?

there’s a big red, white and blue SAT sticker on the closed doors of La Canoa north/Casbah….oops…back taxes…what next? i’d heard that there’d been a tax problem before all the changes…wrong atain(as usual) per the owner, Tom, all is well…it’s a paperwork snafu and they’re really fine..thanks, Tom, for the update and Iapologize for the mix-up.

speaking of changes, word is from Bull that Da Mayor needs Depends cuz Portillo is ‘hogging the bathroom’…thanks, Bull…this  is completely unverified(as usual)

Alex of Fusion is closing the doors for a couple of days, kicking out a wall or two and expanding into the patio…he says he’s getting a ‘lot of reservations’ for November for wedding stuff…me, I always have reservations about anything involving weddings (too many, don’t ask).

and just when I was saying that there weren’t any tourists in town? wrong again, pavlov-breath…groups of doddering codgers(just like me)all around town yesterday…cameras, shorts, black socks and canes..brain fart! with all the Christian folks in town, what’s needed is a Christian-related/approved bar/restaurant…kind of  a Last Supper theme? where the wine tastes like water(not hard)…and so..Pat Boone sings Heavy Metal, Jim and Tammy Faye make their pitch, Jimmy Swaggart apologizes again and again..
