Turn The Page

I do apologize for the hiatus. It seems that I was busy with the end of the school year, trying to find a job for next year and my kid brother coming to visit. Sit back, breathe and take this with 3-5 grains of salt: I'm leaving Mexico. Yes, after seven incredible months I have decided to come back to Ann Arbor. Truth be told I don't really want to come back, but the situation calls for desperate measures. As I'm not part of the teachers syndicate yet, when there aren't classes I don't get paid. I was also offered a position in a most-nefarious Art Fair crowd ridden kitchen. So here I am, typing away in the Monterrey International Aeropuerto, reminiscing on the dream that I'm about to wake up from. The good thing is that Mexico isn't going anywhere (at least no further than the US).
That was two weeks ago. Here I am, back home and broke. Looking for a job while playing puppet master from thousands of miles away. /i have good news and bad news: I don;t have my 1979 VW bus anymore....The good news is that I traded it for a horse. Yes you read correctly... a real live horse. It turns out that an uncle of one of my students wanted the bus but had no money. He called me he in the EUA and wanted to barter. So the price was set...two mares for the rusting powerhouse. I decided to play this one close to the chest and bartered with HIM for only one horse....but he takes care of it 'till I get back. Now that's a deal.
