Vaccinations have begun or they will tomorrow. The "olds" are up first and I looked in the mirror and I look pretty old for 28, so I thought I'd get ready. There is online registration and a couple of forms to fill out, but no heavy lifting. And there are various locations all around the city and one is supposed to go to the nearest. I realize how lucky I am to be outside the city, just due to the numbers. Five people in line rather than hundreds. My nearest location is in Trinidad de Viguera and they started registering today, a day before the shots begin. Thanks to some very helpful people doing the registering, I was in and out in very little time. Quite an efficient operation. I now have a date with the vaccine tomorrow morning. I live on the other side of Viguera and I go right at the fork in the road instead of left, so I was blown away by how beautiful the municipal center was. Yes, my first time there. It had all the essentials.. two beautiful canchas, basketball courts in addition to all the local offices. More pics mañana.
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.
