You say East Timor, I say Miami

A confusing moment this morning with Tom, the maintenance guy at my apartment shack. He was salting the steps, and we were chatting about whether we liked snow or not.

BB: So are you going to take a trip somewhere warm this year?

T: Yeah, February. I'm going to Angola.

BB: Oh? Reeeely? Do people go there now?

T: Oh yah.

BB: What are you going to do there?

T: Ah, lay in the sun.

BB (picturing him on the beach in camo with an Uzi in one hand and a mai tai in the other): Is it a resort?

T: Oh yah.

BB: Are you going to ANGOLA?

T: Anguilla.

BB: Oh!

I urged him to try Cuba sometime, bade him a nice day, and swept off into the stinging snow.
