I know. I know. Slacking. But in my defense, this is candyland Rio de Janeiro. Plus the back-end servers have been a pain in the ass lately, making posting a haze. A hosting move is in the works. Stay tuned.
School’s out for summer. Our Carnivale break begins today. Not that we felt the need to attend final exams this week. Lately, Witz and I have been feeling a strange kinship with Jeff Spicoli. Next week we start early morning surf lessons.

In other news we had our first guests roll through this past week. First on deck was a fine lass going by the name Amanda. Never having met the dynamic duo in person, Amanda threw caution to the wind and opted for a hair raising few days of non stop.. shall we say.. Carnivale tune up. Right on Amanda.

I hope we weren’t too hard on you. Come back and see us. Next up, Josh and Rachel. Witzy’s long lost redneck cousin and his better half. The family reunion was sweet but soon turned ugly as we had Josh wretching out the window of our favorite local pub within two hours. At a boy Witz, keep it in the family. By the way, Witzy and I are gaining mythic status at the afore mentioned pub Emporio. We might start wearing capes. More detail to follow.
I have no logical explanation for my post title. Except that Witzy and I can’t stop playing the JGB version of the classic Lennon-McCartney tune. Go have a listen. I love how Jerry drags out the word play into four or five syllables. Supposedly Lennon wrote the song for Mia Farrow’s younger sister. Apparently she was a meditation addict, so much so that she needed constant medical supervision to roust her. Whoa!! See Mom was right.. too much of anything is bad for you. Except for….
