yeah, I know that it’s supposed to read ‘Gluten Free’…but having once dated a very neurotic blonde (SF)who insisted that everything we ate had to be ‘gluten free’ and now I read that it’s all horseshit…ah, too little, too late..’story of my life, etc..
a few changes in town….Miso, the once semi-Japanese and later even worse Korean restaurant on 5th Ave (in the Mono Loco block) closed and has moved into what was the old La Pena del Sol location on 5th calle, near Bodegona..if they couldn’t make in on 5th ave, a great location, how the hell do they expect to make it in a worse location? hey, do I care? I’ve got MuLan on 5th calle and it doesn’t get any better..
and some personal changes…after writing for the Examiner.com folks for 7 years, the last vestige of a once great publishing empire, they’re pulling the plug in a week….their history is/was great, but times change: the world is sliced up between Microsoft, Google and Facebook…change or go under…etc..so? I’m launching a new website in a few days…www.ourmaninantigua.com and will continue to write/travel/publish/lose money…so? so, what? I’m retired/often bored…
the new park gets officially inaugurated next week…Friday, 11am..yeah, im in…probably a followup article for the great things that Phillip Wilson of EcoFiltro is doing for this silly little town..maybe, even, the city workers will have the northwest fountain in the park repaired by then…hey..its only been down for 5 weeks…and the City’s new huge spiffy fire engine? it found a use! trimming tree branches in Joco! where the pavement is good, etc.. and sturdy…Richard H, checking in from Germany…thanks..nice to know that this page gets around..re the new site: I don’t know if the Ex.com will save/delete any of the 400 +/ articles + a few thousand photos..I’ve saved it all but replacing will be a chore, so if you have any special desires for republications or destinations, let me know..no promises but I’ ll try..
last but maybe least: Edwin and Frank riding together in Duane’s yet unpaid for pickup this morning..? dont think it’s another run to Mexico for illegal liquor but with those two, ‘could be another adventure on the ‘Sliver of Gold ‘ story…ah, the minions of Ponzi Bob…it never quits, one of the many reasons that I love this tow
