My landlord, a long-time Antigueño, tells me that he used to walk the dogs on the street by the finca, but ever since they enacted a law requiring insurance for dogs….you know, bites/attacks and such, that he’s quit…how much? 1000q a month…$120 or so….’so’, I asked, ‘who’s writing these policies?’ answer: “no one”……its just crazy enough, I figure, to be true.
I’ve been hearing good things abut Travel Menu’s Thursday Steak Nights….but nothing about the Sunday Roast Beef platter…anyone? looks like they’re going head-to-head/mano-a-mano with the ‘other mini-empire in town, with the pig roasts/bbq’s on Sunday….not a lot of love lost between these folks, btw..’mention one and you’ll get a scowl…congrats and so on to the “perfesser’! on the winning team at Ocelot’s Sunday Night Pub Quiz(at last)…he’s headed northweird next month for a couple of months on some mega-boat…Nazi John’s gonna hang for a while, leave and then return more quickly than usual….Californicate has lost its charm for him and maybe he’s got a love life goin’ here…good for him, I say….god knows, all the bad ones are taken..
and, according to plan, Alabama Bob is still scheduled to arrive June 4..he needs a place to rent, btw, something ‘cheap’….and yes, Dr J got jumped again…4 or 5am, about a week ago….dude, you’re bait at that hour, dont’cha know?
meanwhile, back at the ranch…a new pump for the fountain and my refer got defrosted..whew, the excitement of it all.there’s a tour of the Popenoe House this Thursday, 5pm…gotta go(I Do) and a Lalique glass exhibit at the Santo Domingo Museum that looks most xlnt. In the rush to get the June version of Our Man, I forgot to add the printing museum…across from the park, by City Hall..9-4, 30q..history….and an old (1700’s) copy of Don Quixote…behind glass, of course (the sneeze shield)…so, the clouds roll in and the burning question..are there ice cubes yet?
so, if you’re still with me, go to www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer and buy up a gross or so…’baby needs a new pair of shoes’ as they say…
Our Man in Antigua
