Stories Of Negril and the Westend

[Pushin 50]

I am so glad so many people have enjoyed my stories. Yesterday I shared but a small portion of the memories I have of my life in Jamaica. I will continue with more latter, but now I am moving into things yet to come. As I stated at the beginning, I will be turning 50 on Monday. Part of the reason I started this was to reconnect with people in Negril, and others who have shared their lives with us. To my suprise it has worked even better than I expected. There was one person in particular I was having a hard time finding. Thanks to the work of my friend Petrona, I have found him. If you have read all my posts, you know I have a very special relationship with my dear friend Victor. He lives outside Jamaica now, but everytime I have returned so has he. I was worried this would be my first trip there without him. None of the phone numbers for him worked. Then out of the blue, after seeing my thread on Pee Wee's, Petrona contacted me and began the process of finding him. To my delight, I am now arranging for him to join us for my birthday. Today, I am one of the happiest men on the planet. In a few days I will be returning HOME to Jamaica. It looks like I will be surrounded by those I love and care for. Many of the stories I have and or will write about, include these people. Many are great story tellers themselves. For those who can make it, Please come and join us Monday at Pee Wee's and I will introduce you to the people who made my stories possible.
P.S. There are a great many stories that cannot be told here in such a public forum!
P.S. P.S. One of them is the story of how my wife got the nick name Broke Back! This is also a Jamaica story.
P.S P.S P.S. If your in Negril, but can't make the party, you may see Victor and I playing cribbage at Alfred's on sunny afternoons throughout the week.
