Still here!

I have now been in Antigua et environs for more than a year......salsa dancing the whole time, or at least taking classes. This town is interesting; it is setup pretty well, socially, for retired people.....and for college-age folks (lots of bars) but not so good for a 72 year old (yesterday) who loves hiphop and salsa dancing. So I go to class and if there is a younger friend in town for the weekend, we'll go to Rikki's Bar on Wed. nite for Cuban, or Thurs and Friday to Rainbow Cafe for our friend Kenny and his wonderful latin-flavored band. In many ways I haven't found the situation of my dreams - work/wise and home/wise - and wonder about the reason for that, since finding a few good friends and finding a program and some schools to work in has flowed pretty easily. OK we'll lay it up to my still-pobre spanish, not some metaphysical machination. Since I've had a lot of time to myself, I've spent it writing. Not for the first time in my life, at all....but only the second time (the last to Playboy at age 26) to submit anything. Only to have 3/6 rejected so far. A poem was accepted for Main Channel Voices, which was nice....nice poem, too. Juice.  (See my various offerings in Author's Den).
