ONE DAY IN.....
W ell, it’s 2006. I don’t plan to make any resolutions that I can’t keep, but I do have a few projects I need to complete around the home front. I hope to put myself on a much firmer financial footing and then there are the personality issues that also need work. There’s nothing that puts things...

CHEATED!
I ’ve been in one of those trashing modes over the past few weeks and last weekend I cleared out some books and actually took them to the used book store. When I first enquired how their system works, I was told that for every two of the same kind of books, I could get one in return. If I wanted...

TWIDDLING MY THUMBS...
I t’s been kind of a crazy morning. I’m hell bent on leaving the office at 1:00 p.m. today to go to the supermarket before the world and his wife hits as well. Of course, on days like this I don’t get a lot of cooperation. I was able to get through some stuff this morning, but unfortunately the most...

EVER BEEN DRENCHED IN RUM FUMES? YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT!
W ell, I’m back in the saddle. The past couple of days were spent out of town with family and we could barely get away. We finally got home last night at about 10:30. My son cried because he wanted to stay in the country with his young cousins. It made me a little depressed and I wondered as I’ve...

I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE – I CHICKENED OUT!
I took the wisest course of action, I think and deferred buying my son that congo drum for Christmas. When I thought about all the noise I’d be subjected to between December 25 – 27, I had 2 nd and 3 rd thoughts and changed my mind. I think when he actually starts lessons in January is time enough...

ONLY IN JAMAICA!

Hundreds of business operate from this area, major corporations (IBM), banks (Citibank), fast food franchises (Wendy’s), traditional restaurants (Up On The Roof) and hotels (The Hilton). The main artery is Knutsford Boulevard,...

NOW I KNOW I’VE LOST MY MIND!
S everal weeks ago, I asked my son what he would like for Christmas. He did not hesitate before he said, a drum. I asked him again more recently and he said ‘a drum’ again. Now I know, I’m going to regret this. I know I will be gnashing my teeth and will stagger around pulling out my hair in tufts...

BISCUIT CRUMBS AND BUDGETS
D on’t you just hate it when you think you are 100% prepared and you aren’t? I put my shopping list together on Monday and called over to Baker’s World with my order. I included bread crumbs on my order. Yesterday evening, I get home to bake and there are no bread crumbs, for which I was billed....

JUMPSTARTING THE WEEK
I’m being introspective this morning, wondering what I will achieve this week. I think I’ve got one thing down now. I wanted to write a post today. Something to kind of jump start the week and get the creative juices flowing. This week has the potential to be a crazy one because of the upcoming...

DANCING UP A STORM AT CHRISTMAS
I t’s funny how our priorities vary at Christmas. Many of my countrymen equate the upcoming holidays and the joy in them to the amount of money they have. I must admit that to a certain extent, I’ve done that over the years, but I’m growing and changing. It is quite tempting to worry about all the...
