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.

Hmmm...

This little school, or that's what I think it is, is just on the plaza next to Carmen Alto.  It is opposite one of my favorite graffiti walls, so I walk by it all the time. Maybe it is just me, but the sign above the entrance to Jardin de Ninos or Children's Garden is not only almost impossible to read, a font nightmare,
but the Soeur over the door kinda looks like....
wait for it.... a vampire. 
Or is it just me?

Yes font nightmare. I see examples like this all the time, in the US or whereever. I wonder if anyone thinks, hey maybe we should make sure the words can be read.

I thought she looked like the nuns from the Madeleine books.
