Our Man in Antigua

yes, I know that it’s really ‘Ad’ but this is Antigua, where anything goes. So, I ask again, why do we have the soldiers stationed here, walking around fully armed? doesn’t that create a negative image for the tourists? Maybe there’s a ‘hot bed of rebel activity’ that I don’t know of….the only ‘hotbeds’ of activity that come to mind are maybe Divas 2 or some of the hostels.
Und zo, a weekend of good/bad…’The Grinch’ sold 400 tickets! four shows, four days…Antigua Players! and the passing of Sandy, a popular waitress here a few years ago, caused more than one wake, with tears and lots of booze. I confess that I did neither event(s)…or Mike and Bobby’s house-warming on Saturday. I think I’m becoming a brown recluse.
heard a rumor that Fernando wants to sell/move…we’ve been losin’ some good people and the replacements aren’t pretty. And yes, daily/weekly new bars/restaurants open, as if they believe in Santa Claus.
the Segue Way folks? office hidden up north, expensive and it’s a failed concept…whatta they gonna do when they decide to bag it? who’s gonna buy the things?
and I got rid of the croquet set(the Pancheris love it)..it sat unused for over a year (kind of like me), the maid wouldn’t dust it (or me)and with the latest, ‘Ponzi Bob et al’ out, I’m thinking of next years expeditions, minus the Captain, of course. I still can’t believe that I didn’t see that coming…”under all that horseshit, there’s gotta be a pony’ kind of delusion. And thanks to those who gave the 5 star reviews on Amazon…’heartwarming’…and if you hurry, Christmas, etc…www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer
