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.

Name that Mexican state

It is gray and overcast and has been for a couple of days as Tropical Storm Arlene, makes its way across Mexico.  It could bring as much as six inches of rain to parts of Veracruz and Tamaulipas where they have been experiencing the worst drought in 50 years!
As I looked at the track of the storm and how it related to Oaxaca, it reminded me of this map which I use to learn the States of Mexico.  I quiz myself regularly.  How many can you name?
