Our Man in Antigua

take that any way you want…it’s a great Saturday night in Antigua and I saw the greatest wedding procession since I’ve been here: four uniformed outriders, four in back, with a coach emblazoned with the initials ‘RM’…real money? whatever…the bride was spectacular, from what I saw..the town was packed, the park lo mismo and so on…bars, here and there, doing some business, something about a fut bol game….Ocelot doing an upscale crowd, Lava packed!…La Morena will open at 8:30….Marianna? off planet, yet again…too bad, she’s good looking but demon rum has her…and no, Shaun’s not gonna do the repeat of the accident on the ‘hill’ over again…good..

thanks, Laurel of Snug/Travel Menu, for a great martini…that place is rockin’…both of em….major updates for the June edition of Our Man in Antigua per the same…who knew? not me…Reilly’s La Esquina doin’ a good afternoon per the fut bol game…La Taverna chugged along with the usual ‘unindicted co-conspirator’s..a bbq scheduled there for tomorrow (Sunday)2-4 or so…guess that Christophe, with nothing else to do, will do the honors of the pig…Nazi John is bringing his new girlfriend…cool…glad to see that love still rears its ugly head, now and then…he says he’s considering moving here, semi/full time…as is Hogan!…rumors have it that his girlfriend is putting her house on the market in order to make this happen…god..imagine a full time blast of Hoganisms…boggles my mind, what’s left of it..and yes, out/semi-about tonight..’been a while, per the damage to my right foot/big toe…but, I’m better, mas o menos..

and I thought I might need a fire tonight..wrong, martini-breath…it’s warm, semi humid and the wood pile,minus any ethic groups,is untouched..and more tales of Frank, the poor mans jack Palance…nope, can’t tell…it’s all too dumb..as with a lot of other semi-related stories of ‘that’ house-hold.’ Add Thor, stir twice, hold your nose and swallow..

nope, no plans for any immediate travel: Alabama Bob returns in a couple of weeks…bringing in a ‘real’ Field Guide to Minerals and and maybe a real rock hammer (Estwing)…the crew, of whatever constellation, might ride again…I’ve two $$ assignments to write and yes, I’m ready to rock/go…whenever..and if there’s any mistakes in the spelling, blame it on my tiny laptop screen…’need a larger monitor…got one? call me…got $$ to burn..or at least, wood..
