What to write? Oh well….
Well, I thought that I would scribble something here lest you all feel that I have dropped this thing. No, I haven’t actually, but I am adopting a new approach: I will post if and when I feel like and have the time. So, if you don’t see anything written for days or even a week, is jus so it go. No pressha, zeen!?
While I was on vacation, I did break my dietary modification of ‘no carbs’ with the evning meal. It hard nuh rahtid to be on a diet while on hoilday when you jus waan live it up. However, I did manage to walk three evenings while away. I walked yesterday and this evening also, and have now returned to going up the hill twice as I found that going up only once wan’t working me enough. I guess it mean seh man a get back him stamina!
Inkeeping with the weight loss/fitness, dinner just now was a bowl of red peas soup and some raw vegetable salad.
In other news, the States continues with their surveillance of visitors to that country. Yes, I have been subjected to the left and right index finger, look in the camera things on previous trips when one arrives. Now, in addition to turning in your I-20 at the check in counter when you travel to the US on a Visitor’s Visa, you have to go to the US Visitor Visa machine where you insert the Visa page of your Passport into a Machine, your name comes up and then you have to go through the left and right index finger, look into the camera friggrey once more. At the end of this exercise, the machine spits out a little receipt with your name. This is machine is near the departure gate at the airport. So much red tape to try to avoid a recurrence of 9-11. Will it prevent such an event??? Hmmmm….
On a different note, I have been enjoying pretty much most of the football matches I have seen so far. Yesterday, while watching the Soca Warriors with the Brits, I was hoping that the boyz from T&T would score. I cussed some serious claat when the England defender saved that goal which would have put them in good stead. Very late in the second half, I stopped wathcing when England scored. The amount o bumbocleat dat did let off by others who were watching was well understood. IMHO, England despite winning that match naw look great at all. Anyway, more good fun to tek een shortly. In fact, let me go rustle up some breakfast so I can prips the first half of this morning’s game before heading out to work. I not so sure who a play, but wtr (what the rass……Ja. equiv. of wtf
). Today is Friday and I not on call, so the usual links will tek place. Enjoy your weekend and more balling…..for the rude dudes that can mean more that just the footie as well! ![]()

June 16th, 2006 at 12:56 pm Why were they inspecting you so harshly? You look like one of Bin Laden’s followers or something. But then again, you’re a Jamaican, so it’s just as bad

June 17th, 2006 at 12:06 pm Welcome home Doc! Posting when and if you feel like it is a good idea, the blog should not be a ‘duty’ to you, or to any readers. I run around and visit when it suits me and I post when it suits me, we all have lives beyond our computers (I sure hope!). Vacation time is a time for a bit of diet modification … as in going off a regulated diet for a bit. That is treat time, is it not? (unless you go on vacation once a month!). Sounds like international travel is a bit of a pain, but, such is what we have to go through… who really knows if it will prevent another 9-11.
