Monday with a flourish
 Or is it the other way around?
The most wonderful time of the year
The circus festival is back! The circus festival is back! Forget all other ways of marking Peace Corps service time, I am now just counting time in between festivals of acrobatics. Tonight was the kick-off of the 5th annual Festival Internacional Alternativo de Artes Escénicas, or Siguientescena. It seems a little smaller than last year, but […]
Birds of my Neighborhood
You’ve already met the cat that stalks them or dreams of stalking them, so now it’s time to give some attention to the birds that hang around my neighborhood. Mainly, it was just really nice on my terrace the other evening, so I decided to hang out there for a while and take some pics. […]
Headcolds and Horses
A weekend lost to a headcold gives me time to get a lot of reading done and some cleaning up of my photo library. I was going back through photos from last year, and found this inspiring shot from Guanajuato. Guess what I’m reading? Lots and lots of Game of Thrones. Actually I finished the […]
Hours 1-2 of 10,000
Before I can run off and join the circus instead of just being an acrobat groupie, I have to start taking some lessons. Good thing for me that I have a friend starting up a school, and I have a few web skills to barter for classes. Time to get on the silks! (Or hopefully […]
Superhero or SNAFU?
You can either ignore the pile of dirty laundry in the background or see it as an indicator. I leave it to each of you individually to decide as you see the events of the week unfolding. Holy crap it’s only Tuesday. It better not start raining. I need to go for a run. There are […]
A large automobile and water flowing underground
How did I get here? How do I work this? Where does this highway lead to? In my case, I was not behind the wheel of the large automobile, per Peace Corps regulations, but the questions still apply to a bit of a bizarre weekend. I can’t really say that much, except interesting times as […]
I know you’re back now, but you still left
Just a kitty placeholder while I edit photos from the weekend, and the guilt is just too much. Not that her photo on the blog appeases her as much as wet food.
mmmmm…pancakes
It’s been a slow week with a decided lack of decent snack food. Besides, these were the craziest pancakes I’ve ever seen, and they took like 20 minutes to make. Spotted while traveling a few weeks ago. Now I headed back to the kitchen to do some dishes and raid my peanut butter and nutella […]
Critical Mass in Mexico
Or, as it is known here, Saca la Bici. It passes my window every Wednesday evening and I often watch them go without my camera. Finally I more than just got off my duff to stick myself and my camera out the window. Now I just need a bicycle to join them.
Just that type of day
Sigh. I had to buy some chips and a soda. It’s only Wednesday. Sigh. Of course, I also went for a fairly nice to run to balance things out. Didn’t completely work. Onto a bit of gin now. I’m ready for a vacation, but that is still weeks away.
Power through it
If I can’t climb on the weekend, then I can at least power through some work.
