  • Guess We All Grow Up: Kevin Powell Runs For US Congress

    Date: June 11, 2010

    Comments: 0

    Kevin Powell is one of the nicest brothers I have ever met. We met while standing in line to buy Chinese food @ Ho Kwong's in DaCosta's Mall, Bridgetown, Barbados back in 1998. I saw him out of the corner of my eye, and said, "That guy looks like Kevin Powell," in ...


  • Have Tawah, Rolling Pin & Coffee Pot: Will Travel

    Date: May 24, 2010

    [caption id="" align="alignright" width="250" caption="It's goood! God bless roti!"][/caption] Back in March, during a frightfully short trip to Trinidad, I accomplished one of my short term goals: acquire a tawah. This tawah for me, is part of my enforced liberation from bad roti experiences when outside of Trinidad. This consists of course ...


  • Baby No More: She Blooms

    Date: April 24, 2010

    Comments: 0

    My 15 year old God-daughter: I held her in my arms, fed her, changed her, bathed her and now she is flowering into a woman and it's both wondrous and a little shocking to me. How fast the time flies... how quickly it all goes. She has a Facebook page, and ...


  • Once More Into The Breach

    Date: March 6, 2010

    Comments: 0

    Back in November of 2008, faced with the need to begin travelling again post-baby, I made a largely fruitless trip down to Trinidad to renew my passport. After the easy, smooth, frictionless experience of having it extended while I was in London, I found the arduous two-to-four-day process in Trinidad horrifying, ...


  • The Little Red Dress (And The Rediscovery of A New Me)

    Date: December 19, 2009

    [caption id="" align="alignright" width="392" caption="sungoddess in little red dress"][/caption] If a photograph is worth a thousand words, then my recent profile pic update (see it to the right) is speaking volumes. I am thirty five years old. I'll be thirty-six in April. This year proved to be trying and trial, but most ...

  • BSG Cast & Taken Alumnus

    I've been re-watching "Taken" a 2002 mini-series, and I'm having a blast picking out minor characters from "Battlestar Glactica". Clearly Sy Fy (formerly Sci Fi and known fondly as Skiffy) has a pool of talent they dip into for everything. I've spotted Fergersky, Zak Adama, Socinus, the woman, King and Felix ...


  • Welcome Back V... Let's have a look atcha!

    Although I know many of you within Barbados (possibly the Caribbean) and who are slaves to C&W cannot access this content, I still want to share it with you. Anyone watch this one as a child? My brother and I were g.l.u.e.d. to the TV on Saturday afternoons, engrossed in ...


  • Dreaming Big, Head Bopping, Locks Flying

    This morning, after dropping the Lil King off to school, and I was walking up Deacon's Road to go fight up with the damned ZRs, I chose this song to be my soundtrack. I bopped up the road, locks flying as my head invariably bounced, and more than once I belted ...


  • Humble Guy

    [caption id="" align="alignright" width="147" caption="Guy Kawasaki"][/caption] Ahhh... Robin Caldwell and I have the same geek crush (but I guess she has seniority)! Great interview with Guy Kawasaki. I love that he talks about his past stuff in this offhand way. He's a really humble man on the real... I also think it's very ...


  • The Aborigines Say We Dreamed The Universe Into Existence

    This album, "Dream" by Tuck and Patti, I found on sale at No. 1 Record Shop, Independence Square in Barbados, for some stupid money--like less than $10DBS. I was 17 years old, and a rabid consumer of new-to-me music. I was still finding my tastes where music was concerned, and ...

    [caption id="" align="alignright" width="280" caption="Household Vinegar"][/caption] Honestly, vinegar and baking soda must be the miracle in every kitchen. Now I understand why Auntie Olga used to insist on the stuff. I am glad I took the time to pay attention while she bullied me into some of the most ingenious money-saving ...
