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.

If you are coming to Oaxaca, please contact me for tours or advice.

For what it's worth, "Green Pit Viper", while not inaccurate as a description (aside from the unnecessary capitalization - it's not a proper name), is not this snake's name. This snake is Botriechis lateralis, commonly called a "side-striped palm pit-viper" or a "side-striped palm viper"; it's found not in southern Mexico near you (though there is a dangerous very similar snake - the eyelash viper - that is found in southern Mexico) but in the mountains of - you guessed it - Costa Rica (as well as western Panama).
