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.

What in your basket this week?

Here's what's in my basket from shopping in the Etla market this morning.  A large purchase for me, but all very nice quality.... four big avocados, eight large carrots, four tomatoes, six bananas, four breakfast rolls, three pan dulces, two apples (from Chile), two kilos of small potatoes, a kilo of the best quesillo (cheese) and a partridge in a pear tree.  OK, not the bird, but everything else for $210 MP or $11.13 US.  I am always interested in what others are buy and their costs.  Of course, Etla is simply a wonderful market... more on that in a bit.  But just look at how good these things look.

Steve was just commenting last night that he came home from Stop & Shop with 4 paper grocery bags (which are smaller now) and it was $115!
