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.

La Maestra - Update

What a difference a couple of days make.
From the LAHT
Erstwhile teachers union boss Elba Esther Gordillo, arrested three days ago on embezzlement and racketeering charges, was moved to a prison with better medical facilities, Mexican authorities said Friday.

Gordillo’s personal physician requested the transfer and prison doctors agreed, authorities said, stressing that the labor leader is not receiving any special privileges.

Once considered Mexico’s most powerful woman, the 68-year-old Gordillo is said to suffer from high blood pressure, chronic hepatitis C and kidney problems, among other ailments.

She was arrested Tuesday and arraigned a day later on racketeering charges in connection with the alleged embezzlement of $157 million in union funds.
