thanks, JD, for pulling my chain on my rant about Memorial Day..it was a cynical thing, realizing that the US has been in wars for decades and I just ‘went off..’
somehow, Alabama Bob’s ‘departure party’ took place last night, even though he’s not leaving until Saturday…maybe this is a week long fiesta of ‘adios, old pal’…Antigua will be the lesser for his absence, HBT will have to find a new roommate who’s more tolerable of the early morning ‘events’ and so on…
the ‘Perfesser’ aka Mike D of the northwest checked in…he’s ‘had it’ and i suspect he’ll be coming home soon…to take up permanent residency, if I read the email correctly…add a few points to the overall IQ level of conversations isn’t a bad thing…the park benches are getting a bit low on same.
yeah..the rains…I’m already up to here with it…ran outa firewood today..screw…and too lazy to go to the mercado and buy more…tomorrow, ok?..pick up La Cuadra’s latest edition and read the Rios Montt piece…whew…’just finished a fiction piece called ‘Body of Truth’ which oddly dove-tailed with it….the longer I live here, the more I semi-understand this country…and you, the dipshit who claims that there was ‘no genocide’….must’ve been on the planet Uranus.
so, the races this weekend? Corvettes/big dogs/porsches…yeah, I’m in…if only for the spandex and the prettiest babes in country(or outa the country) and thank you, April and Brenda (Vegas girls)for the early birthday wishes…two outstanding blondes.
odd…Panza Verde’s offering ‘dinner specials?’…yep..buy one and the 2nd is only one Q..PV? yeah, there’s some fine print but PV? have things really gotten that slow? One suspects that 4th calle has changed a bit..Sobremesa and the Gastro-Pub are taking the lion’s share of the dinner crowd..Ocelot’s got a lock on the Happy Hour crowd and salsa nights..5th calle, aside from La Pena del Sol is equally a waste-land…El Gato Negro still up for sale but as a package(with their hotel around the corner) and in this, the ‘slow season’ all that’s left are the spanish school students/christian groups..not exactly big spenders..fine…here’s a photo of Brenda, sent yesterday…do I miss Vegas? not a bit…
