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.

Any publicity is good publicity

From the you can't make this stuff files....
The admitted past marital infidelities of Mexican presidential front-runner Enrique Peña Nieto have become fodder for a new ad campaign by an agency that arranges affairs for married clients.

A billboard bearing Peña Nieto’s picture and the text “Unfaithful to his family. Faithful and committed to his country” appeared this week in Mexico City.

The ad was commissioned by the Mexican unit of Ashley Madison, which describes itself as “the world’s leading married dating service for discreet encounters.”

“What we offer is that if you have an extramarital relationship through us, you won’t be caught, and so those people should use our (Web) page to do it secretly,” the president of Ashley Madison Mexico, Ricardo Castañeda, told Efe.

Peña Nieto’s dalliances didn’t stay secret, as he fathered two children with two different mistresses while married to his first wife, the late Monica Pretellini.

The photogenic politician has publicly acknowledged those affairs, but now presents himself as a model husband to soap opera actress Angelica Rivera.

With less than a month to go before the July 1 election, Ashley Madison decided the time was ripe for the ad featuring Peña Nieto, Castañeda said.
