this has been a really *interesting* trip

as if,
my Ja-life
has circled-back to when i first came here ::::: primarily in terms of the Ja-people i've re-run-into over the past several days.

folks I first met
many-moons ago :::: during those first few trips, when i was staying in Negril in a time-share set-up.

back-in-the-day
lucky-me met some outstanding folks ::::: folks to whom I *owe* a LOT..!!

for example,
let's start with an item on my 'to-do' list :::::: getting the glass/screen fixed on my cracked tablet.

.
.
several days ago,
at that thing-y @ Travelor's
I saw MissGail of TreeHouse ----- we all know what a jewel she is, na tru .... she did some things, and showed me some things that enhanced my Ja-experiences

as i listened to the children perform at Travelors
on the front-row
i saw Mr. Theo Chambers and his wife [[ dunno if she still doing it, but she once ran TimesSquare ]]] ...... she too help-ed me.

* whew *

hadn't seen Theo in loooooooooooooong time ..... to me, he's one those 'visionary' type folks .... kinda-sorta like Rob

Theo as I recall had one of the FiRST internet cafes in Negril ... it may have been the first. ....... in subtle-ways he help me, during the brief chats we had, when i came to use the computers.

working for Theo, and one of his key-staff-members was a VERY-young guy .... VERy-young ..... young but SMART ...!!!...

young-guy was teaching himself, with books, and i don't know what(?) else to learn networking, and a bunch of other computer things ..... ... remember, this was back in the Pre-world-wide web days. .... before digital cameras .... before email, as we know it.

i chatted briefly with Theo and his wife ... mention-ed the young-man
and
left the Travelers event.
.
.
.
i stroll to the round-about are:::::

and
Boom..!!! ---- I run into the Overtakers ----- they TOO have been helpful and inspirational to me, on this Ja-journey

then::: Boom Boom ..!!!! --- up walks Thane ...!!!.... the computer guy
.
.
* whew *
i could tell you a BuNCH of more-stories like this
that have happen-ed on this trip
.
.
but
first
meet
Thane
