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.

A tree grows in....

We are approaching the end of the dry season.  There have been a few nice rains and some not so nice hail, but more importantly... it's mango season.  This huge tree overlooks the Alcala, the pedestrian walkway and must be at least 12-15 meters tall.
Mangos!  They are plentiful and so tasty.  I stop at my local fruit stall and get some every day.  Sometimes, perfectly ripe and other times, almost ripe, with a nice crisp crunch.  The overly ripe become smoothies, but for now...
Look at all those mangos!
Update: I didn't realize that almost all the huge tree behind the wall were mangoes, too.  What a bountiful harvest.

"And I need you today, oh Mango" No, that's Mandy, but a mango would be nice.

When at the coast the mangos are everywhere. No one can go hungry. The trees in the park are full, along the roads. More than I every imagined.
