are the holidays actually over? there’s a lot of Christmas stuff still strung around town…not me. Took the cheap Chinese lights down and gave ’em to one of the yard crew…rotsa ruck, etc
A couple of new places open: one should do fine, the other dubious. #2, ‘Miso’ in what was my previous printers location, Frener on 5th Sur…Japanese stuff. The other, Los Tres Tiempos in what was previously Reilly’s, across from La Casbah. I have a hunch, from the crowds, that they’ll do ok…a purely ‘chapin’ menu and a very well done rehab..some of it still in progress…if you’re a whisky/bourbon drinker, take you own and pay the corkage fee. Alex, behind the bar, takes care of the ice/glasses. Bill H. Gene B and some of the older guard there last night, road testing the place.
the ever elegant Victoria C, back working at El Reino del Jade…’worth going by,just to look at her(I did)..and an amazing constellation of birthdays this weekend, if you believe in astrology…der Henrik and Luis Miguel of Da Vinci…even Carmen F of Creativo…makes you wonder…Bill Clinton and Margaret Thatcher and my dad shared the same day…however..drum roll..if one takes into account that the original Sumerians or whoever ascribed the virtues of the twelve houses to the planets then known, there’s this thing called procession…the planets/stars move…ever so slowly but they move….so, if you were born under the sign of Cancer a la the beautiful Claudia #1, you might really be a Capricorn or a Taurus…I forget if the procession process moves backward or forwards, but that’s the idea.
Al Argueta of Moon Travel/Guatemala in town (we missed each other)and I heard that the guy who does the Narco News thing was in La Taverna last night….Hogan Van Daniken, the source, so that might up ‘questionable’…and HBT, newly recovered, seen in Bodegona, stocking up on rum…he’s been ‘dry’ for a few weeks, letting the antibiotics do their thing on his wrists..whatever…he’s healed and that’s the main thing…Hap reports that my new camera arrived(he’s my mule)…end of the month…Reid checked from Cuenca…leaving, headed for Chicago and thence here. per the ‘Perfesser’ Reid still persists in driving his car from there to here…not smart, dude…$$$…there’s been some hanky-panky aka hookups with a couple of people I know…local babes/$$$ but what the hell? no one lives forever…and if you’re still bored, go to www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer and spend some $$…laissez le bon temps roulez!
