There are certain things I always look forward to when I venture back into El Norte. Things like dim sum in Chinatown, a Reuben sandwich, really good pizza and a nice fresh salad. Flashback a couple of weeks at my local market, "Hey, where's the Romaine?"......
So I have been off my game, so to speak. And all of it is pretty funny considering all the talk back and forth about lettuce, where to get it, whether to wash it or not, etc... Never really a problem for me, because I grow my own and still wash it with bottled water and Microdyn. So I come to the US and get sick on the food. Lettuce pray....
I am so spoiled by the freshness and quality of most everything in Oaxaca.... and all the amazing cooks and their delicious dishes.
Still, I love it in New England (even though it has rain almost everyday except when it wasn't frigid) and there's still dim sum to enjoy. Then.... Oaxaca!
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.
