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.

Earthquake caused by bloviator?

About an hour ago, we experienced a pretty good earthquake.  No damage, but a good shaking.

from ABC News
A strong, long 7.6 earthquake with an epicenter in Guerrero state shook central southern Mexico on Tuesday, swaying buildings in Mexico City and sending frightened workers and residents into the streets.
The U.S. Geological Survey set the intensity at 7.6 and said the epicenter was 11 miles underground. Mexico's National Seismological Survey said the temblor had an epicenter southwest of Ometepec and was felt strongly in Oaxaca.
At just about the same time, GOP presidential hopeful Rih Santorum was condemning President Obama for allowing his daughter, Malia, to come here. 

His ignorance is almost equal to the stupidity of the title of this post.  I will spare you what I really think other than to say what I always say, "Oaxaca is safe," and I am very happy that this school group came here.  They are among many, many tourists enjoying this wonderful place.  And it gets even better with Semana Santa approaching.  Join them.

Incidentally, I passed Malia and her classmates on the street yesterday.  No big deal.  She is tall.  That is all.
