Our Man in Antigua

so….music has come back to the town…a crippled Nelson plays Panza Verde tonight, in homage to Bruce who worked with pain..I get that…Bobby Darling and April play the Exit Inn and the Londiner tomorrow night…a

so…If I’m not out as often it’s because I’ve seen/heard the same people on the bench, in the park in the morning…a fire, a good book and a cocktail works for me.

Some in, some out…Hap Osgood, one of my favorite people, returned to Portland and promptly slipped/fell on ice and screwed up his other shoulder….yikes…surgery? probably…rotator cuff stuff…Ponzi bob should be arriving soon and we’ll hear what this year’s plans are to be…

The latest change/updates with Our Man in Antigua are out here next week…totally different covers, front and back, and no, I have no idea where Marbel is..or Maite…women, you know?

and one way or another, I’m getting out of town next week…the beach or the mountains…don’t care…I love this town but after a month or so, I need diversion…and yes, thank you…the last ‘slip and fall’ incident hit me but I’m over it..thanks in part to the great pedicure/foot massage of Carmen, at Salon Creativo…6th ave and worth every centavo..

and maybe, tonight will be less cold…I’ve been burning thru firewood as if I owned a sawmill…but thanks to a recently downed tree here, wood is close and cheap (my mantra).

And so, we’re into 2016, like it or not…gotta be better for me…I’m mostly over the 3 surgeries…walking better, etc..thanks to one and all for the appreciation/tis one one the many reasons that I love this town..people actually care and mean it…I’m blessed…thank you, again..forweird, I say!   and glad to hear/read that Shaun is back on track..he’s too good..plus, a free concert at Panza Verde tomorrow night….national orchestra with violincellos..5 pm..
