^{_{Welcome to SomePlace Else!}}

Welcome!

Glad you are here. I stole the title of this song and this website from Jimmy Buffett, but he hasn't sued me yet. We were in Key West about a hundred years ago for an outdoor environmental benefit and Buffett said we were all there to keep Key West from becoming "some place else."
I wrote the song the next day. Later I was awarded a grant from the Monroe County Council for the Arts to record it.

Survival Spanish 101
From a great book Last Flight Out by Randy Wayne White, here are some spanish phrases that I remember could have come in quite handy in my travels as well:

1. Everything was working fine
         when I left Miami...
    Todo funcionaba bien cuando
    me sali de Miami.

2. How much do you charge?
    Cuanto cobra?

3. Let us negotiate a price before
        you take our luggage...
    Negociamos el precio ANTES de que
    de que me las maletas.

4. Did I say American? I meant
        Canadian...
    Dije Americano? Queria decir
    Canadiense!

5. My friend is drunk and I am lost.
    Mi Amigo esta borracho y estoy
    perido.

6.  My friend is lost and I am drunk.
    Mi amigo esta perido y estoy
    borracho.

7. The local women do WHAT to
         cause fermentation?!
    Las mujeres aqui hacen QUE
    para causar la fermentacion?!

8. My companion is out of money and
        estrogen. Hide your gun!
    Mi companera acabo plata Y el
    estrogeno. Esconder su carabina!

9. Don't shoot! We are only musicians!
    No disarpar! Somo estrellas de
    musiciones!
     ( Actually the last one would
       have been handier in french...)

      More notes from work...
Had call from a passenger regarding the flight to her cruise. The flight originted in Detroit with a lay-over in Chicago. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight left Detroit at 9:30am and got into Chicago at 9:34am. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. I finally told her the plane just went really, really fast. Such is my typical caller.
