Our Man in Antigua

would he be driving the ‘cruise ship’ or the Love Boat?..no, this has nothing to do with anything/anyone, just another symptom of a deranged mind(mine)…

so…’One Man, One Drink, one Song’? Bobby Darling at Michos’s….packed the room, all of 12-14 spaces, for the 3rd week running…good stuff..’wandered down to Travel Menu…packed!….12-14 people, the bartender schlepping plates hither, thither on yon…Nils of Azul 39, walking the empty streets, wondering where the business is…not here, dude…

what was La Rumba/Ixcot now under renovation as a new ‘Beer Pub’…a red Brit phone booth, a new bar and some old signs on the wall….whether or not this will translate into ‘success’ is open to question…Ocelot/Lava suck up the biz…whiskey den is dead, 13, the concept bar you can stick a fork in…Reilly’s La Esquina/Cafe Dos Mil equally dead-zo…it was/is a cold night, cold enough for a local version of a ‘Two Dog Night’ in this case, a 2 fat mama  night, like a sandwich..

HBT…finally, after bonking his right (steering) wrist again, agreed to go to the doctor today…and yes, the bad press about Antigua even reached my pals in San Francisco…crime/corruption/cha cha cha…good…send more mormons to show us the error of our ways..and no, I didn’t stick around to hear Jessy at O’lot at 8 or so…it/i was cold.and there’s fire wood and a good book..no mujeres gorda but two outa three ain’t bad..and yes, the local versions of Our Man/A Year of Driving are going 1/2 price as of December the First…thanks to Copia Fiel and their pricing…likewise on Amazon et al…www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer    yeah, there’s a ‘road trip’ in the works for December, assuming that HBT’s wrist is healed, the Cougar is fixed and Mike D’s lung problem is resolved..likewise a trip for january and february….
