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.

Piñas the way they are supposed to be...

"Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby" and so it was yesterday as I stopped to get a piña from this woman.  She and her family have a prime corner spot for Wednesday's market and they do a very brisk business.  I have finally figured out that it is much easier to buy a nice cleaned and sliced piña from her than to get a whole one and chop it up at home.  I mean, it is always a bit messy.  In fact, you can buy lots of fruits this way, ready to eat.  Look at those watermelon, sandias.
She was really nice yesterday and picked out a nice big one for me and went at it.  What can I say?  She is a professional and 1..2..3.., she was handing me a sticky bag, filled with beautiful slices.   It was so fragrant that it filled the car with a heavenly aroma.  So.... I ate it.

Don't the colours of the pineapple and watermelon look fantastic contrasted against each other!
