Circus Mexicus

Greetings amigos, I am going on vacation to a little place called Mexico. Mrs. Shife and I are heading down to a town right on the Pacific Ocean called Puerto Penasco or Rocky Point. One of our favorite bands in the whole wide world, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (formerly The Refreshments), performs a concert there twice a year and we figured it is our time to do it.

So I will be on the beach for three fabulous days working on my tan, rocking out, destroying my liver, and listening to my wife justify why she needs to go on another shopping spree. It is going to be awesome. Play nicely while I am gone and I will be back Monday with a Mexican hangover and hopefully some cool photos. As Mr. Clyne so eloquently states, "My second home is a third world cantina."

    I have a friend flying dwon from caldwell, Idaho today. Hope we can exchange links. Looks like you have a nice sense of humor, or at least articulate it better than me.

  2. Have fun, drink rediculous amounts of liquor.. Oh and you'll probably want to get a smaller sombrero (SIC?) though.

  3. Good idea Fiona. The big brain on Mr. Shife isn't that big. I will probably have to switch them to make sure the cash and prizes don't get burned.

  4. Well I just didn't want to come right out and tell you, but it looks like you've encountered the amazing head-shrinking tribe of the Owhyees and they have done irreversible damage.

  5. Yes, I believe you are right. My penis is incredibly small but I have ginormous testicles.

  6. I was referring to your melon, but it sounds like you are pretty well balanced out. Maybe you should bring a banana hammock as a back-up.

  11. That's quite a life you have there amigo. Goof off at work all day and then fly off to another country to accomplish more of the same. Do I sound jealous? That's probably only because I AM.

  25. Party semi-hard dude!
    May gut be small, your opportunities with Mrs Shife ever-plentiful.
    May she be caught up in 'second-honeymoon-itus' and may your bowel movements be regular and peaceful like.

    Oh...and whose looking after the dog

  26. Love the Refreshments. While you're down there, drink the water. I think it would be an interesting experiment and become material for great blog storytelling.

    Vaya con Dios.
