It's that time of year, Halloween time.  Friday night is close enough to October 31st to make for a great night to have a costume party in honor of All Hallows' Eve.  Myself, Scott, Sean, Amin, and Dane dressed up as poker hands.  Scotty was "Jack-King off".  Sean was "The Big Lick" 69.  Amin was "Pocket Rockets", Aces, and Dane was "Big Slick", Ace-King.  I couldn't choose between "The Jackson Five" Jack-Five and "The San Francisco Busboy", which is Queen-3.  (A Queen with a Tray, lol).  I finally settled on "Lady Kila" which is the pocket Kings.

 

Location was a local house rented out by some of the college students we know at Ross University.  It's right off the 11th tee box on the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club.  Johnny was spinning the tunes, while Kevin and some boys bartended.  It was a whopping $4 US for All-You-Can-Drink.  Of course, we had to have some Jell-O shooters as well.  What would a party be without Jell-O shooters?  We even left our classic calling cards (or playing cards) at the scene of the crime.

Spending the day on the open seas riding a Catamaran is one of the best excursions you can do on this rock we call St. Kitts.  Especially when the drinks are free.  Enjoy the pics.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

We celebrated a little Canadian Thanksgiving on St. Kitts with a party at Mike's Villa here on the resort.  As is the usual custom, Dave cooked the Turkeys and Giulio did the carving.  Everyone chipped in with dishes and drinks, and the dinner was a great success.  Afterwards we watched the Cowboys squeak out a win over the Bills in a thrilling finish on Monday Night Football.  We also celebrated the defeat of the evil Yankee empire at the hands of the Indians.  Although I wouldn't have minded them getting through to see my Red Sox kill them off.  I won a nice little chunk of change on the Indians victory as well as winning the poker tourney.  It was a very successful night.

And finally, here is the view from the couch after polishing off some turkey and the tryptophan kicks in.

The movie "The Hitman" based on the popular video game, which I enjoyed very much, will hit theatres on October 12th.  That means it will hit St. Kitts around next March or so.  Here's a trailer for the upcoming feature.  It stars Timothy Olyphant in the title role.  He recently appeared in Die Hard 4.0.  He's got an interesting and angry look to him that I am not sure will be exactly what I picture for the role.  We'll see how he does...

There was a little barbeque action tonight at Vasil's villa after a little golf in the afternoon.  There was a fair size crowd there but I forgot to take more pictures since I was too busy chattin'.  Here's two that I took including evidence that Alistair retired early for the night, literally, as he pulled up some grass and had a little lie down.
