So here I am back on Saba (known as 'the Rock').  Sadly all by myself this time....Kim and the boys struck off for home.

 

Craziness, living in a tropical environment: I leave for 7 days and come back to what?  More friggin mold....mostly in places where the boys love to spill stuff, slobber on, chew on, etc, etc.

 

We had an absolutely fantastic time in St. Maarten during the break.  Beaches galore, in the pool galore.  The kids are both water fanatics.

 

Speaking of water, it has been seriously dry here on Saba, my cistern was the lowest I have seen it.  Thankfully, today it is pouring rain for greater than 5 minutes...and we need it to fill up the ole cistern.

 

Between Kim and I, we've managed to sell most of the kid's stuff, aside from the crib and other baby furniture....I'll keep throwing out the sales pitch until we can unload it for someone else to use, rather than spend lots of silly money shipping stuff in.

 

So I noticed Laura is gone....dropped off of the face of the Windows Spaces.  I hope she comes back.  Although I only got to her space sporadically, she is juggling quite a bit and still managed to find time to post comments on mine, and I assume many, many others.  I guess that means Lexi that you'll have to kick the comments up a notch!  Let's hope Laura makes it back sometime.

 

Last night we found out that the Chinese restaurant had the DeLaHoya/Mayweather boxing match televised.  I went with my mates Andy (Halifax) and Raj (Vancouver), we were able to get front row seats at the bar...and this is because we were only 3 hours early for the fight.  urps!  So what else do you do to kill time but drink: heavily.  I consumed far too much rum, rye, vodka, beer.  Raj lost the bet on the fight.  His punishment?  Had to do a shot of Chinese rum in a bottle filled with 2 pickled baby iguanas.

 

Even though I luckily did not get iguana juice, i'm feelin' mighty low at the moment, thanks for asking though.

 

I am seriously turning into a facebook-whore: I am continually amazed at finding people that I haven't seen or heard from in years.  Facebook allows you to blog, and I'm still working out the nooks, crannies and kinks of facebook, but if it can do the same blog style as here: I'll be dropping this site and movin on to facebook, full time!  Since I'm guessing Laura's space got shut down by the microsoft live space people...my continual sales pitch for facebook should expedite my space being removed exponentially.

 

Well, I'm going to take a nap: LATER!
