Good morning world! It is a sunny beautiful hot morning in Sosua, Dominican Republic.

.

Yesterday a bunch of my favorite people came into town for the holiday weekend. Sosua has been DEAD in the heart of the slow season and business has held up here at QuiXotes despite the lack of people in town.

.

Yesterday was kind of a turning point in town as people started to arrive for the Canada Day holiday and the 4th of July holiday. I picked up my buddy Herbert at POP Airport on the Continental Flight from Newark and shortly after I got a call from my buddy Jackie Quontree who happened to be on the same flight. A little later during the day my buddy Edd Rellosk walks in with a bottle of SEX for me. Some of you may wonder what sex from Rellosk may mean and if I didn't already know I would be wondering myself since he is a man of many interesting facets. It was a bottle of Vodka. It looks great on the shelf! I now offer SEX at QuiXotes:)

.

Herbert also bore some pleasant surprises which included a 21 year old Scotch Balvenie which is at this time the top of my Scotch shelf. He also brought me the Grey Goose Le Cintron and a large Bombay Saffire which has been selling real well. I am not a gin drinker but the Saffire out sells the Tanqueray by far.

.

I just got a email from another friend who is coming tomorrow night at 6 with 2 bottles of Patron Silver which I have none of at the moment because one guy bought the entire bottle a couple of weeks ago in one evening. Heck he even bought 10 shots of a bottle of Patron Gold after that:)

.

Rellosk also brought a 15 year old Johnny Walker for me along with a new printer. My last one crapped out last week. No biggie, it got me through. I only paid 500 Pesos at a street fair. Dori fell off a table while changing bulbs and of course he broke a table and the printer went flying. Guess it 220 lbs of Dori took its toll on the poor printers. For all of you in the future, "Friends don't let Dori change light bulbs". I am going to keep him in the kitchen from now on and not allow him to leave.

.

With more people coming into town today business is looking up from a very slow week last week. Wasn't losing money but certainly wasn't making any although I am still renovating and starting to get places. Bought and finally paid for the Granite counter top. My nightmare is over although my second storefront to make the A/C dining room is starting to look like it is going to turn into a nightmare but we will see.

.

I look forward to hanging out with my assortment of friends today and for the next 2 weeks. This is what the good life is all about. I can't wait till these guys live here permanently. That would bring up the real estate values here:)

.

I am sitting here waiting for more friends to hit town. Linda Love and Doug Hicks are coming shortly along with a bunch of other good people. Makes for nice times!

.

When these friends leave town I will also! I am going to New York for a week in the middle of July. I planned this trip to coinside with my friends leaving. I will be getting a divorce this trip if my wife and I can see eye to eye on a few minor issues which I am confident we will. In the eight years since we split we haven't seen a Attorney so things have worked out well compared to all my friends with Horror Stories and BAD Tales. I think I will miss being married to my wife believe it or not even though we really haven't had a relationship in many years.

.

When I return I am bring back a 45 year old Scotch I have had for 25 years that was casked in 1918. This should be a very rare Scotch. I will also bring back a 29 year old and a 22 year old. Along with my collection of Tequillas returning with me this should put my liquor selection over the top and maybe even the best in the entire country.

.

Last night someone ordered Dewers. I only had the 12 year old and didn't even have the regular Dewers. I don't even have a Johnny Walker Red. Hmm... Ah the heck with it. I won't buy them. Let em drink my house Scotch or my premium Scotch.

Hasta Pronto!
