As some of my readers (and all my friends) may know, I am a huge fan of Arsenal Football Club, the greatest club in North London and possibly the world. We “Gooners” (as we call ourselves, after “Gunners” – who are members of the actual team) are, like most football fans, deeply devoted to our … More Weekly Photo Challenge: Names (of a few Arsenal Fans)
September has been a hectic month for me – but today, being Sunday, I am slowing down a little to admire our garden. It is flourishing for the first time in the entire year, after a series of afternoon thunderstorms this week brought heavenly rain! Give thanks. It’s been a “mixed bag” week but I … More #GoatIslandsSaved, Please Pardon Mr. Garvey, and the PM Live From New York: Jamaica on Sunday, September 25, 2016
I was greatly looking forward to the Rio Olympics. As expected, it has been a wonderful escape from the grinding heat of the Jamaican summer and an excuse to stay at home on the couch with cups of tea. But now I feel I have had enough. I want to get back to sports-free days … More Rio Olympics 2016: Things I Will and Will Not Miss
During my social media wanderings recently, I took note of two Black Britons – very different from each other. Now, these are not your average Black Britons. They are celebrities. It always seemed to me that if you were black and living in the UK, you were either (A) a celebrity, or B) of no … More Two Black Britons – With More Than Talent
The long Easter weekend passed, leaving in its wake a slew of car crashes and (very sadly) murders. We had a minor earth tremor (did you feel it? I didn’t) fourteen kilometers below Clarendon. We had no rain. The well-heeled went to parties costing the equivalent of US$50 upwards, and posted pictures of themselves on … More Jamaica on Sunday, April 3, 2016: A Promise That Cannot Be Broken, A Tidal Wave Hits, and Carnival Cricketing Joy
It’s been such a pleasant week. Half of me wants to get going on things, while the other has a hangover from the holiday and is inclined to laziness. I suspect there are others who are in this bipolar state! However, as expected, things are quickly warming up on the political front. And the weather? We … More Andrew’s Coercive Forces, Zika Approaches and Don’t Blush, Baby: Friday, January 8, 2016
I almost missed this, but for those who did – March 21 was the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, to be followed by a week of awareness. As UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon noted,”This year marks the 50th anniversary of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial … More Professor Verene Shepherd at the UN: Let’s Learn From History on Racial Discrimination
A couple of years ago I started a series of articles under the headline “African Postman,” partly because of my personal interest in that great continent and partly because of comments made by Jamaican friends that they don’t hear much African news. At least, nothing that is not civil war, disease, poverty and famine. I am … More African Postman: Picture Postcards 2015
It’s December 26, and the neighborhood has been sunk in soporific mode since morning. Some Kingston citizens will no doubt rouse themselves from the post-Christmas Day torpor later today and toddle off to a soca party or dancehall session, and the noise level will rise. But for now…it’s “as you were.” Having just dined on … More Boxing Day Leftovers
