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.

¿Me puede ayudar?

I need a little help here.  Just looking through shots of Teotitlan and came across numerous ones of this little soldier, IMO-TCFHOG™ uh, too cute for his own good. 
W.C. Fields said something like, "Never work with children or dogs.  They upstage you every time."

OK, speaking of details.  Who the heck is this on his hat?  I can't make out the writing, but I can see a Smurf or Pitufo, as they are called in Spanish, in the left bottom corner.  So is he from the movie?  Hero or villan?  Need a little help here.  Maybe Princess Abigail knows.

Gracias! I should have known that. Now it all becomes clear, Clearly, it's a surreptitious comment on the whole Cortes/Monteczuma thing. He may be cute, but he is devious.
