Oaxaca-The Year After: Food for thought

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.

Food for thought

So much of Thanksgiving here in El Norte is about food.... and shopping... and football. Lord knows, I am into the whole gastronomic thing as demonstrated by all the succulent food shots on this blog, but not so much this year. I will have a taste of turkey, but none of the fixins'. I just don't like that bloated stupor. I prefer my stupor to be lighter;-) Saludos and be thankful for what you've got. It is all just temporary.

And maybe there is just too much on our collective plates these days to overindulge in eating or in consuming. Let there be an overabundance of food for thought.
