not yet, I hope…the newly reconstipated…no, reconstituted crew from last years road trips within Guatemala is foaming…no, forming this week for a few days away into Honduras and the magic of Copan. HBT, our regular driver (sic) is temporarily laid up with wrist injuries, acquired by falling out of a hammock per his wife (he claims not to remember) but the Cougar needs work and the Ford truck can’t go into Honduras anyway…something about ‘papers’…as in not having any…one would think, one would, that between he and Joe M. who are old hands at Guatemalan car stuff, that this would’ve been taken care of.
speaking of cars, did anyone catch the mini-car show on 5th ave norte Sunday? it wasn’t big but there were two classics: one, a perfect 57 Mark 1, pea-green four door Jaguar sedan and the other? this country has some amazing cars hidden away but I never expected to see a Shelby AC Cobra….something I’ve always wanted to drive….yeah, I’ve owned a Jag…a v-12 coupe that cost me a thousand bucks everytime it went to the garage…
Our resident poet is now published! Piano Mike, sometimes Thespian Mike is now also Poet Mike….got his own ISBN number and every thing….he’ll be at the Art Show next Sunday, the 15th…Finca Azotea, from 2pm on…buy one or three…he’ll sign ’em..
and it looks like the old Reilly’s location on upper 5th ave, after a long time in rehab/renovation(years)is close to opening as ‘something’….they have signs outside, advertising a search for ‘meseros’…with papers, of course and not just La Prensa.
and if you should happen to go to http://www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer the page says that ‘A Year of Driving Dangerously’ is ‘temporarily out of stock’….how this computes to titles that are only ‘print on demand’ is another mystery sans clues…and yet another location for the output from my vast publishing empire! the Posada Don Rodrigo, ground zero on 5th ave…
