Just to let you know….
…that I am still alive and well, albeit busy and tired. Am here finishing up dinner…a cup of chicken soup and a fry snapper wid two peice o bammy. Now the latter came by way of a church fish fry (to rise funds for charity) that a colleague at work was selling for his church. Now the idea was to have had this for lunch, but it arrived too late, so I ate something else for lunch. When the fish arrived all packaged up with my name on it, I just took the parcel and put it up to take home for dinner without looking at it.
Now when I opened it up tonight I was in shock as the fish looked more like a juvenile…I have never seen a snapper small so! It is just a bit larger than your average sprat to rahtid. Plus, it oily so till……anyway….so it go.
Don’t know how many of you saw the opening ceremony yesterday for the Cricket. Even me who nuh follow cricket took een parts of it. I thought that Sean Paul’s performance was dismal, but that is no surprise as he usually is pretty seedy on stage IMHO. Much as I like nuff of him music, I doh find him much to watch live at all. Also, I heard someone in conversation with a few peeps today saying she thought that him singing about ‘feeling ‘orny’ at the opening ceremony was a bit inappropriate. Overall the, the ceremony was pretty good and the costumes looked nice. I hope for the sake of the organizers and our Caribbean territories as a whole, that it will be a successful six weeks as much has been invested. Tomorrow is the first match at Sabina Park….I know a couple peeps going. Doh check here for nuh score, you won’t find it.
Price o gas has been rising again. It is almost $60 a litre for ‘ninety’ now. Takes about $2,700 to fill the tank of the Acoord. BTW, I got a buyer for the old wheels…..as is where is…..my plumber. Says his brother is a ‘mechanic’ and will fix it up. I sold him at a very reasonable price, but when one considers that it had basically been sitting on the driveway for a bit over four months, I was just getting sick of seeing it. In fact, it was sorta adding to stress, so I was happy to to have it outta mi life.
What else a gwaan? Work, but still manage to get R & R in. Apart from that, nada mucho has changed. So until the next time the impetus to scribble takes me…hol tite. I won’t look for comments for a few days, as I have become so infrequent I’m sure you all doh check yahso regula anymore…….if I am mistaken, then sorry I can’t give you suppem to read with regularity anymore.

March 16th, 2007 at 6:32 am Thought the first part of the opening ceremony sucked.Got better from David Rudder …lord keep Sean Paul to recorded music only
March 16th, 2007 at 2:42 pm I didn’t watch the ceremony, I don’t seem to watch TV much these days. i have seen the gas price raising every week, damn bastards!
March 16th, 2007 at 9:25 pm Doc: Glad you’re still kicking. Me well proud of what I read about the opening ceremony. Even though I don’t remember what all the cricket terms mean after all these years in North America, I’m excited that the West Indies is hosting the CWC and Jamaica is playing a crucial part. May things continue to go well. By the way, how is your little niece doing? The weather is crazy in NY. A couple of days ago it was near 70 degrees. Today it’s snow and sleet and the roads are treacherous. Lawd, wha me still a do up yah doe een?!
