    I’d like to think I was the first ja.commer to visit your blog. I saw the “Friday evening in Kingston” video on youtube and eventaully tracked you down here. I have been a fan since my first glimps of the video.

    I have been posting links to your BLOG all over the place on the jamaicans.com forum.

    I am glad to see the shout-out! I really and truly love you blog.
