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.

You can leave your hat on....

Just seeing these wonderfully colorful chapeaus, kinda makes me wish I was a hat guy.  Alas, I'm not stylin' enuf or able to pull these off like Bruno Mars could. Still, very tempting...... but no, I don't need to have folks sayin, "Is that Bruno's abuelito?"  I get the hairy eyeball enough, know what I mean?
All just adds to the visual beauty and complexities of Oaxaca.

You should just buy a hat you love and start wearing it! I always thought I wasn't a hat person until I found the right hat-now I love wearing it

I think Bev's got the right idea. I've never been a fluffy pink girl, but several years ago I saw a soft pink/coral/peach boa-type "scarf" in a thrift shop and it was sooo "not me" that I had to have it. It's so fun I now embrace the look. And I once had some shoes that weren't "fashionable" but I thought looked so great on me, that I always felt that my wearing them made them cool. Greatly liberating experiences.

Diane, in the Bay Area where there IS a bit of freedom to define personal "cool".
