Our Man in Antigua

Let’s assume that, Mom and maybe Mary the Hooker are in Cancun for Spring Break or are in Rome, staying at the Pope’s Condo, and watching CNN/Fox and getting the overview from Antigua and the thousands of celebrants dragging around the ‘floats.’,….wtf? after all these thousands of years, the blood, gore, pain and suffering are still #1? Maybe a part of it has to do with the synthesis of Catholic theology and Mayan needs for pain/sacrifice…dunno? cannibalism? pass the wafer, drink the wine…

Ins/Outs…so, Cindy the C left today, for parts unknown, even to her…I’m almost missing Nazi John and Hogan, if not for their lack of sartorial splendor than their propensity for tossing verbal bombs.

‘heard, I think, last week that a major bakery was going into Reilly’s Las Esquina or nearby…but,my memory has been worse than usual..a week ago,I had an attack of appendicitis,,and thank you, Mike D aka the ‘Perfesser’ for showing up,more than once..as my friend, FLR said, while visiting me in the hospital, you know who your friends are when you’re in jail or the hospital..

so..the hospital? at Friday morning, last, my choices were slim/none..VA. a plane ride, Lori Shea’s excellent network, the crime scene they call the Nacional Hospital in San Felipe or the unknown Hospital Hermano Pedro?..Door #3, my choice..they ‘cut me’ in the afternoon but…I bled and was in pain ’til I bailed on Tuesday…want details? got ’em..’can’t recommend ’em for other than a simple procedure..hangnail, cha cha…I think that their staff might have graduated from Barnum and Baileys..sorry, I’m tired…enjoy the spectacles..same stuff, different year..
