  1. Ian Vasquez is a new Belizean talent. I recommend his two noir mysteries, In the Heat (set in Belize) and Lonesome Point (partly so).
  2. Shyne is a pretty impressive guy -- good luck to him.
  3. Go Yankees!
  4. Am I the only one having problems with MLB.postseason? #dodgers v #phillies
  5. Going to settle in with my chili (affectionately called Cardiac Event in a Bowl), a few Coronas and watch the Yanks beat the Twinkies.
  6. Have you heard about the new upscale place in Corozal Town? Almond Tree Resort.
  7. The best time of the year is here: Baseball playoffs. Time to make a big pot of chili, buy a 50-pound bag of Doritos & stock up on Corona.
  8. Just settling in to read the new Robert B. Parker Spenser novel, The Professional. This is Parker's 37th Spenser book.
  9. The tragic murder of Tropic Station Manager Lurline Young on Caye Caulker is sad and disturbing. What is happening to my poor Belize?
  10. Woody Harrelson is a hoot in Zombieland; Bill Murray has a priceless cameo. It’s fast-moving, hilarious, violent, revolting, touching.
  11. After driving 4,147 miles, visiting 13 U.S. states and 3 Canadian provinces and staying in 14 different hotels, I'm back from my Walk About.
  12. Rambles Around Belize 2009 is ready for downloading now at www.BelizeFirst.com
  13. Harvard's endowment lost 27% or US$11 billion in the fiscal year ending June 30. Makes me feel a little better about my own investments.
  14. Belize Legacy, the North Ambergris "condotel," is closed until November and reportedly will reopen then only for its co-op owners.
  15. Skyservice, the Canadian charter that has had seasonal weekly flights to Belize from Toronto has canceled BZE flights for 2009-10 season.
  16. I recommend you NOT see District 9, the "thoughtful sci-fi movie." It's well done but unremittingly violent, full of disturbing characters.
  17. Coming Soon: My review of the controversial new "novel," The Tourist Who's Too Dangerous for Belize, on Amazon.com and BelizeFirst.com
  18. I've been educated about the Boundary Store at the south end of Orange Walk Town, Belize, a big thrift store with interesting treasures.
  19. It takes a writer of great talent to turn a fascinating subject into tedium, and that is what Greg Grandin has accomplished with Fordlandia.
  20. PM Barrow's takeover of BTL is an example of good tactics and bad strategic thinking. It looks like a big mistake to me.
