Dashing down the street,
on my cripple’s trike,
Through the streets we go,
doing what we like.
Borko is in tow
On his mountain bike
What fun it is to dodge a bus
And live til Christmas Night.
Pocitos, Buceo
traffic all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
My ‘lectric trike today
La Rambla is a mess
cars are everywhere
Christmas here in Uruguay

How about eating your cake and having it too? That was always my goal when I was growing up–actually it was usually pie, ice cream or potato chips; cake was not a special favorite.

I have really been remiss in writing in this blog, but I’ve simply been so busy with my real job that I have not had time to do it.

This party is a combination of a US middle class “Sweet Sixteen” party, an upper class “Coming Out” debutante ball, and a solemn affair of State. […]
Last weekend several of the UruguayLiving gang, The Southron included, trekked to Piriápolis for the social event of the Spring: Ken’s “Open House”. Ken had asked us to bring some ice along; which seemed innocuous enough, until we had made six stops on the eastern side of Cerro San Antonio (St. Anthony’s Hill) without […]
This Saturday Ken and his Family will be hosting an open house in Piriapolis.
This will be a wonderful chance for members of our online community in Piriapolis, Punta del Este and points east, both Uruguayos and extranjeros alike, to get together. (Somebody please get on the conch shell express and let the Aussie colony […]
Last night we had a record crowd at the Thursday night Open House gathering we host every week at our offices in Buceo.
Something more than 50 people, Uruguayos and Extranjeros piled into the “clubhouse” behind our offices for food and drink and fun. This week, we were pleased to have a magic show, featuring […]
That was probably the only decent line in the movie “Cool Hand Luke”, and it epitomizes the way I sometimes feel when speaking English around the world.
For example, when I lived in the West Indies, someone would say to me, “I’m going to pass by your house tonight”. My usual response was, “that’s […]
