Our Man in Antigua

thank you, Antigua, for a host of reasons and things to ponder about, on this day of remembrance (at least in the USA)…thank you for the memories of people that I’ve lost this year…George Morgan, Michael Banfield and James Santiago Durham, to name a few..

thank you for some amazing women in my life: Flor, Carmen, Ligia, Maite and MED…thank you for all the girls in the various stores who put up with my dumb gringo act..thank you, for all of your smiles..and the people where I live…the ever special Raquel, etc and Ana.

this town, at least on the bar scene,runs on gossip…no, it was’t me..etc…thanks, Hogan, for the nickname of the Klavern Tavern…yep, you nailed it, as usual…come back and we’ll travel again, anywhere, anytime..my personal standard of who i’ll hang out with…thanks, JR, for all the background information about how this country and the town really operates..there’s so much bullshit here that you need tall boots. Thanks, Phillip Willson. for the great story on the park and its renovation, with back stories..

I’m lucky to live here and I miss some people who have left..they added color/content..thanks to Alabama Bob, Spiros and HBT…true characters, in every sense of the word…and Shawn of Ocelot, Alex Ferrar, two great people in this tiny little world..of course, Michael Tallon and Mike Chrisman..other shining lights in this murky burg…the list goes on, of course..
