Our Man in Antigua

Will trade….gotsum? Antigua is playing host to one of my favorite orgs…’Doctors without 
Borders…they’ve taken over the La Sin Ventura, while they’re in country, doing good stuff.

How did I miss Tanya H’s Birthday Party? I thought I had the right time/place…maybe ‘thought’  is too strong a word but I did run into Ginski and Mom at Ocelot..if you remember( I do)two years ago he and Marty put on the World’s Record thing in Joco for cramming 221 or so into a chicken bus..

‘heard from someone who was there that the Bobby D/Grace show at Kafka was exceptionally gooder…per the larger room size, she had a chance to really belt out songs.

And the long unseen ‘Miss 8:30″?…..spotted going into the Citibank last eveninig…she hasn’t been working at the Spanish Center for a while….6 months? and our seasonal Impulsive Imp of Idiocy, our Wavy Gravy semi-lookalike? seems to be organizing a ‘tour’ to Joco to a place they call ‘Divas’, involving the ‘plus size girl’ who works at La Taverna..and she wants to go!…thrown in HBT for better or for worse (your call)and this would have the makings of an epic evening…I’d probably have to go along, just to take the Jiminy Cricket role..

Nelson Lunding is looking for a decent used piano…I’ve got his email or you can find him on FB…and just where is that missing $40 million bucks in ‘charitable contributions’ that got shipped to Guatemala? (they say)…CNN has the story, under ‘Latin America’…and I thought that we already had some questionable NGO’s….well, yes…there are some..

and yes, the park benches in the park are looking semi-unoccupied this week…the annual fun-fest known as the Bus Trip to Hell aka Panama gathered up a lot of the Legionaires, a few of which might bail by the time they get to San Jose/Costa Rica and within drinking range of the infamous Del Rey (no, I wouldn’t know anything about that place). Reid the C? ‘heard of crossing the border into Mexico ( a few times)$$$, so the betting is that he, inspite of  good advice, drove a car down..assuming that both he/car hold together for a few more days, he might just be one of the last seasonal loonies to arrive here.

yeah…the part-time loonies and the full timers…kind of an open air Latin version of ‘One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’
