Our Man in Antigua

I pushed mine thru the fence this morning for the ever lovely Maite Morgan…maybe an explanation is in order…she plays tennis next door and the occasional errant tennis ball falls into my yard…if the dog’s don’t get ’em(and they slobber/chew)then i try to  save/recycle them (the balls)…

Nelson Lunding, leaving us for the States and then Europe? yep….coming fairly soon…month plus or so…Europe? wow….go Nelson…we ‘knew him when’, I guess..looks like Caffe Bourbon has acquired a sex…no, sax player….north carolina guy, plays weekends, I think.

Lava? added up the numbers over the  last year, gross-wise…totally amazing figure….nope, promised i wouldn’t etc but if you ask one of the principals, may be…I  don’t think I’ve ever heard anything remotely close  and I’ve been around a few bars/restaurants…insane…congrats…

Alabama Bob supposedly working again in Georgia…will he last long enough to rack up  more unemployment  bennies and then  come back?….there’s a couple bars here that would probably chip in for air fare…speaking of air fare, a local part-timer who is just back? scored an open-ended round trip ticket from United…price? $202,,,yep…gotta be over 65 and there’s a few minor hoops but $202? chuck me, farley..

still a few vacancies in the commercial district…and a lot..no, just a few under remodeling and maybe if they hustle, in time for Semana Santa? as usual/still, the economics of this place amaze me….and yes, welcome back  Duane….an all expenses paid beautiful three nights on the lovely Motagua River with perhaps the craziest river rat of all ….that zany,loopy guy with missing teeth and a  laugh straight out of Deliverance… Duane looks  okay but…you’re a better man than I, Gunga Din..
