The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Hail the size of grapes

There was a 20 minute storm today with very high winds and lots of hail - large hail that came in horizontally at 50-60 mph. A real freak event the likes of which no one in the neighborhood had seen before. I expected the skylights to break, but they didn't. However, when I went out to shovel(!) off the deck, I noticed that the hail had literally taken the paint off the side of the house. Flakes of paint everywhere. Lots of plant damage, but that's Mother Nature. She can be feisty at times, but the sun is out now.
