MS Walks 2012
G2 is at it again…50 miles She’s walking 50 miles for me…check out her page here (she coulda used a better picture of us in my opinion, but hey)! She’s all warmed up since she now come back from home AND playing mas…
this year also my Atlanta peeps are walking. That walk is the weekend of 4/15 and i’m currently working on the site, so i’ll have to give the link at a later date. I’m not sure how they are gonna top the jerseys from 2 years ago, but the plan is to have t-shirts and make a big lime – much bigger than the last time – of the walk (u know how we Trinis do). I’m thinking of renting a scooter here so that i can be on the road with the walkers (I’m picturing a rhythm section on Peachtree St. – HA! they so not ready for us), if not, i’ll just wait for them at the finish line like i did the last time.
so…looking to make a trip to ATL sometime? come on down for that weekend. it should be sweet!

it’s Carnival Monday…i can’t help but feel nostalgic at this time of year. I not going home for carnival (i’ve said that too many times on this blog already), but i can’t help but get into the music, the vibe, the fetes, the various live feeds. it never helps that it’s 80-90 degrees there but 50-60 here. At least this year i’m actually off today and tomorrow, so i can pretend 🙂
For the Trinis, enjoy my favorite Soca Monarch performance! I’m a die hard Machel fan from long long time, but i feel that Prophet shoulda take home the prize Friday nite!!
the Cane Itch
i’ve been having an itch to buy a new cane for a few weeks now so i finally decided upon the “bull organ” cane. figured it would be a cool talking piece and a nice addition to my “fleet” of canes. Alas, the cane gods had other plans for me…the site from which i usually order only offers them in 2 sizes – 34 and 36, and it would be nice to be tall enuf for a 34″ cane, but i’m not so the bull organ from that site is not in my future. I found another site from which i can order it, but it would cost 100+ and i’m not at the point where i’m will to pay more than $100 for a cane! bull penis or not, i’m not willing to spend that money.
So i had to settle for something else. i bought an ergonomic one – i had to select whether i needed a right or left hand one and the thing came andi couldn’t work it – ergonomics and all! LOL!! I was convinvced that they’d sent me a leftie cane instead. Well i gave up and left it for G to give it a try; she figured it out and of course i felt like a jackass when i saw how easily and comfortably it actually fit in my hand. i also bought another black one that is pretty normal, but it’s nice and sleek with a silver collar, so i don’t have to use the beat up starter cane all the time – I don’t use the Smuggler Cane as much.
I’m happy with my new purchases…using the black one today when i go for my infusion 🙂
