Brackin' 2 - Electric Boogaloo....


WELL.... Day 2 of the garage sale consisted of 6 hours of sitting and NOT ONE SINGLE CUSTOMER. NOT ONE!!!!!! It was nice getting to sit and talk with our marvelous neighbors, Scot and Marla, but a pocketful of cash would have been nice, also. Less trash to take to Goodwill would also have been nice..... well, who cares? I'm not above illegal midnight dumping....


Kristi doesn't have a dedicated internet connection where she stays on the Brac. Someone in an adjacent apartment does, and so she's been scamming off of their wireless signal. Well, they got wise to it and firewalled her. Now, if we want to skype or if she wants to check email, she has to go and sit at the only free internet hotspot on the island, THE AIRPORT!!!!!

If I went up to KCI and sat in a bench every day with a computer, never flying anywhere, how long do you think it would take them to ship me to Guantanamo for questioning? I guess that's not a big deal on an island with 3,000 residents. Instead of waterboarding her someplace, they just see "the American with the computer" and wave.... Nice, huh?


She's got a little more than a week left on the Brac, and while she enjoyed it, she's looking forward to getting back to West Bay.

The realtor comes to take pictures and put a sign in front of our house tomorrow. I'm really excited, but also very sad. First house, so many great memories, etc... BUT, making new memories on a little island is alright, too....

Have you tried Craigslist? Has sometimes worked for me in the past...

Good luck wrapping up your house and getting back to the island! Say hi to your family too!

You think you're torn? We want you and Kristi to be together. But damn, we can't actually have you leave permanently. I'm thinking the Cayman's and Kansas City need to share joint custody of Kristi and yourself. Two weeks there and two weeks back. I know it will be hard, but if anyone can do it you two can.
