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.

It's the same everywhere....

It's a global world out there... uh, a worldly globe?  At any rate, the interactions and cross fertilizations behind all our lives continue to connect at a staggering speed.  Oaxaca is hardly immune and it has Burger King, Office Depot, Sam's, Walmart, Domino's etc.  However, it does not have a Starbuck's..... yet.

from the LAHT (emphasis added)
Mexican restaurant operator Alsea said it acquired the remaining 18 percent of Cafe Sirena, a company created in 2002 to operate Starbucks coffee shops in Mexico, from U.S.-based Starbucks Coffee International, giving it sole ownership of the Starbucks coffee business in Mexico.....

Alsea operated 1,421 restaurants in Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia under the Domino’s Pizza, Starbucks, Burger King, Chili’s, California Pizza Kitchen, PF Chang’s, Pei-Wei and Italianni’s brands at the end of 2012.
Update:
The very next day! (Story)
Mexican restaurant operator Alsea said it acquired the master franchise for Burger King brand fast-food eateries in Mexico.
