an old friend bit the dust this morning…or, more accurately, the tile floor…my 60+ yr old Rolex kissed the floor and died…and as with me, finding spare parts/and a mechanic are almost impossible…adios, faithful ticker.
Alabama Bob returns (he says)sometime in late May, probably about the time that his unemployment benefits go ka-ching…Ponzi Bob scheduled for the 5th of January, along with a few other missing co-conspirators, like JR who surfaced electronically with a ‘Season’s Greetings’ email this week…
and for those of you who’ve asked the musical question, ‘how about a weekly music schedule’ …well, this week is f….ed, per the holiday and next week? Reilly’s La Esquina, mid afternoon on Sundays. TLG at Cafe No Se Wed/Saturday night, Bobby Darling at Ocelot w/Jessy, Wednesday nights and when Mercedes returns from the US, Thursday nights…all start times are GST…Guatemalan Standard Time, which means late..o, and Jackson at Travel Menu, Saturday night…8*sh…
and its the time of the year for ‘convivios’, the Guatemalan answer to office parties or just folks/families getting together..today, Henrik and his crew at Los Cebollinas…who was it that told me that the owner of Los Cebollinas hadthe prison food contract? and for those who’ve been wondering just what the hell went on in Copan last weekend, here’s a visual..no, not me and not the “Perfesser’ so that leaves you-know who…and at last, I think I saw more gringos on the streets today…bringing joy to the merchants, one hopes…it’s a dismal holiday season here…as one long time merchant observed, the changes are thus: A-Town is safe, so families come here from the City, walk around and eat ice cream..and that’s all..the Mayan ladies are besieging one and all who eat by any open window or pass on the sidewalk..ok…name this person…last name is Von Daniken…
