It always happens on the last day...

Luckily this was my last day on St. Kits because I went down to the beach today and got a horrible burn. I'm extremely uncomfortable.

It's been a good experience down here, got some good work done and made some new friends, but I really feel like I need a complete change of pace; new clothes, new locale, the works.

So now I'm off. Since the Expo is over I think I'll take this opportunity to spend some time with a few old friends in a very different climate. Someplace cool and quiet.

I heard my old college buddies Charlie Ryder and Sebastian Flyte are revisiting some research we worked on a while ago. I'm going to visit them at their place. Specifically, at their library; thing com pletely renovated and restocked so I'm sure we'll be able to get some good work done.

If anyone who was familiar with our work wants to help out, they can just stop by their library and search for my friends and/or their fathers. Someone will be be able to show you where we are.

Well, I've got a plane to catch in just a minute. See you.

Beautiful moon

The moon was beautiful last night, but I didn't see any of the treasure hunters. Maybe I'll spot them tonight. Hopefully, I'll be back from the hotel bar by 10:20 pm. Won't have much time for stargazing, as usual, but maybe they'll wander by while I'm sitting by the window.

Well, off to the Expo. Looks like it's going to be another busy day.

Cool island breezes

St. Kits has been great. Hasn't been too hot. Everything is nice and calm. Unfortunately, I'm sure that can't last. Been getting a little new work done, too. Hopefully I'll get several more days down here before I have to move on.

It's always nice to meet new friends, and it appears that I've met a couple nice people down here. Lots of treasure hunters, too. Makes me think of The Gold Bug. I get the impression that some of them are close to finding something.

Anyway, I think I'll finish up here at the computer in a little while, then I think I'll just sit by the window for a few minutes. The moon looks beautiful over the water at about 10:40. Maybe I'll spot those treasure hunters heading down the beach.

One Hit Wonders

The St. Kits expo has been uneventful over the past several days, which is probably for the best. No sign of Larry, though. No one that I've run into has heard a thing from him.

Was watching VH-1 in my hotel room this morning - a show on one hit wonders from the 80's - and who should pop up but Spandau Ballet. What memories they brought back! They were on the countdown at Number 6 with "True". That one was OK, but there were other songs from that album that were much better.

I've been thinking of having a more full-featured space on the web, something a little more robust that would support an online newsletter or newspaper. But I don't have any money to spend on that sort of thing. I wonder if my friends up in Allentown know of anything like that that's free?

Back to the beach, for now.
