My Fellow Mausicans, Last week, I had another peak experience. I visited my cousin, Carlston and his family in Edison, New Jersey.
I first met Carlston in Bon Accord, Tobago. I looked forward to spending vacation in Tobago with my Tobagonian relatives. What a time! I enjoyed Alene’s ackee and saltfish and green banana. Ah eat three times!!!
On Saturday, it was great fun seeing Mausicans celebrating the Christmas Season in Central TNT. My Mausican brothers and sisters were having a ball.
Thanks for maintaining the Mausica Spirit.
While in New Jersey, I discovered that Mr. Eric Iton, my favorite teacher in elementary school, had passed way in November last year.
