Letters from Grenada

first they came for baggy jeans…

So apparently Grenada’s Police Commissioner wants to outlaw baggy jeans. I have mixed feeling about this, because while it does offend my senses to see so much random boxer-shorted ass, I also figure these guys are making themselves so unattractive, they are self-selecting themselves right out of the gene pool, which is, as far as I’m concerned, as it should be.

In other news, all you kids need to get off my damn lawn.

Seriously, though, this is a perfect example of how amateur some so-called Grenadian professionals are. Read more here.

My name is María. I like wasabi, patronize bunny rabbits and think red wine really needs to stop pretending it's not purple.

I lived in Caribbean for four glorious years. My son - Joaquín the illustrious Bean - was born on the island of Grenada. He's beautiful, brilliant and has two birth certificates.

Now we're back in the land of snow and afternoon sunsets, and all the diet Coke and Thomas the Tank Engine in the world won't cushion the blow of such culture shock.

This is our story.
