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.

Siesta time

No, this is not today.  Here, today, we are still under gray, drizzling skies.  The good side of things, the area got a lot of steady, but not too strong, soaking rain.  I think this one really helped the aquifers, every drop a blessing.

And I have been dodging raindrops, taking advantage of the perfect transplanting weather to get lots of seedlings in the ground.  There is a whole new batch of things, marigolds, zinnias, cosmos, celosia, broccoli, lettuce, corn, cilantro, etc.  I am talkin' bout a lot of seedlings.  If it all works out, October should be something.  I am trying to time things for Muertos.

It seems quite strange to be under such gray low clouds.  Normally, one has the mountains and valleys to drink in.  Today, we drink rain and can only dream of those vistas.
