‘brings a whole new meaning to ‘stool’, eh?..Friday night in Antigua! ‘jumpin’!…crowds of Guatemaltecos with babies/ice cream/coffee…even a sizable contingent of white folks…bars/restaurants waitin’/hoping’….Choc Museo packed…night after night…who knew?
What was the old Reilly’s on upper 5th? totally transformed…you wouldn’t recognize it…a soft opening New Year’s Eve, with reservations and the hard opening jan 23rd…I counted at least nine electrical meters, for whatever that’s worth..
and, a group/contingent of what was/is the ‘unindicted co-conspirators’ at La Taverna tonight..Jim O, Duane and even J.R, not often seen in town..Joe Bob, Mike C, Mike D and HBT…Joe Miller, acknowledged king of Christmas dinner this town there also..LT is taking up the slack from O’lot these days…Aury and Dave might not always be on the same page but that’s someone else’s problem.
Hap, Hogan’s long time travel buddy, just out of Cambodia and will be in A-town later this month…Reid the C? lost in Cuenca(Ecuador)and no news…is it love? Ponzi Bob due in Jan 5th…in time to straighten out Howard/Edwin perhaps..or not..an impossible task.
Jim the O made the observation that Pana has a higher…no, larger concentration of scoundrels than Antigua? is this possible? it never occured to me(the usual, you say)..
so, we’ve survived Christmas and the dinners and the liquor…more or less…the eggnog/rum combo did me in, frankly..rest up for next week and New Year’s…and yes, I’m still giving away free copies of my books…screw you, Amazon/Kindle..’its my party and I’ll…etc”
