There are serious issues that I would have wanted to discuss today. However, it’s Carnival Monday as I write and Things That Matter for today’s (Carnival Tuesday) publication.
In a few minutes I head to Belmont to meet up with the fancy sailor band Belmont Exotic Stylish Sailors (D’ Bess). It’s in full-on carnival mode.
Carnival is what it is: an intrusion into carefully planned sport schedules. It’s just a fact of Trinidad and Tobago life. It’s part of T&T culture. Carnival, like our sport, speaks to who we are as a people, a society, a nation.
