Indian Arrival Day

Today was Indian Arrival Day in Trinidad and it wasn't bad except that I stayed at home and cooked curry fish and rice and enjoyed it immensely. There were some workmen making a hell of a racket with a power drill downstairs my apartment block for almost two hours. I don't understand that. They do... Sign in to see full entry.

This Old Age Business

This old age business has a lot of fallacies attached to it. I've discovered that myself by becoming old and noting the experience. Its not bad, if that's what you think. It just has these supple aspects to it. First of all, depending on your personal condition, nothing has to malfunction. Nothing I... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday And Not Much To Do

So its Sunday again and there's not much to do. I had a lunch of pea soup. I know some people might think I'm looney but it was a delicious treat I make at home fairly frequently and it does taste good. You simply let the peas soak for a day or so in water with some bicarbonate of soda to soften it... Sign in to see full entry.

When You Think Its Good

Just when you think you have it good it goes awry. I mean really awry. I joined this site where you can get good books cheap, like for two dollars and suchlike. Then I checked the shipping charges and its almost another twenty bucks. I mean, here is a chance to get books I can't get in Trinidad for... Sign in to see full entry.

Latest Today

I just wasn't savvy enough at the time. Pass on Easy Riding Guy. Won a hundred in the coin casino this morning but... Sign in to see full entry.

Fond Farewell

It was a fond farewell. The old man, past eighty now, handing me an envelope full of cash for the last time. He had ditched me on Monday, after a service period of over five or maybe six years in the shipping industry when I did work for him for two companies he managed. I was put in touch with him...

Friday Before Arrival Day

Its now the Friday before Indian Arrival Day and I'm here in the office contemplating the weekend and the day. Yesterday I won a little bit of cash in the casino, not much, just a little bit and promised myself not to go back, like I always do. I bought bread and salmon to last till the beginning of...

People I Admire

I admire people who are honest and excuse dishonesty. Loyal to all and loyal to the disloyal. Profane with a smile. Love their women and love many of those. Honor among thieves can make thievery glorious. A winking eye can mean love. We are here to understand and help each other. When I was much... Sign in to see full entry.

So You See How It Is ?

So you see how it is. Everybody doing what they want and calling it their right. Lawmakers making laws to suit the politics and feelings of the day. Just or unjust it means their success and their good life with their profession. People living how they want. Sex how they want. Money how they want.... Sign in to see full entry.

Knowing The Feeling

I guess knowing the feeling is just that. Understanding and knowing through your understanding the feeling someone else has. I get to know many feelings this way. Like the lady here with the art show. A first time feeling and so great to have and I know because I've been through that myself ( in a... Sign in to see full entry.
