i told step-father,
what i wanted, and we close deal ..... kinda sorta

i run to town
to link with my Lucea-mentor
&
to run some errands::>>> shopping for few take-back-to-foreign goodies/necessities

spent more time
in-town, than intended

hop in taxi
BACK to-country

.....yep yep YEP..!!... he a mentor TOO .... over the years, the likkle pickneys have been some of my BEST-est teachers.

''..Did you see 'em kill a goat down the road ... at the cross-road..''
''..Yeah, mon..''
''Good....that my goat..'''
''YOUR goat..??? !!!..''

'''..WHERE the goat..???... blah blah blah .... where the skin... blah blah ... where the blood... blah blah..''

''..Come..!!..''

he takes me behind the Ja-Oprah's shop,
and there're a couple guys cook cook cooking in some big big pots
...things smelling good
.......meat stuff cooking in one pot ... soup stuff in another... all over wood fires

''..Where the skin..??.. blah blah..''

he looks puzzled

:-(

* sigh *

so it goes
my bad .. .. i didn't tell him my *plan*

oh::>> some may be wondering ''How Much'' this crazy-idea of mine cost-ed:::>> 'bout $100+ USofA
could have gotten for less but
here's the deal...

I had a dream, as somebody once said.

earlier,
when step-father were working out ''things''
he went into that typical/usual Jamaican price negotiation thing-y,
and I told him::>> ''' STOP..!!!.... .... i don't have time for that ..... just MAKE it happen... give me a price,,,do what you got to do.....THIS time, i'm dealing in the USofA from-foreign ''way''....''

he laugh

to me-self,
i ju$tified this endeavor as:::>> ...a belated Ja-stylee wake, for my mom...
...and told him so
.
.
jumping ahead
....the curried goat was OFF THE CHAIN..!!.
