Dancing close while making dinner is a lovely image. And perhaps the true highlight of this story.

I am with you on the news part. I still pull up the PBS News Hour on my laptop, though I usually nod off after ten minutes or so. I also take a quick surf through the NYT's and Washington Post news sites each morning that lasts about five minutes. The same old, same old gets boring quickly.

Love your costume take on an election night party. Seems even those days are over now.

We are living in a very different world today, as you well know. These days I am happy to stick my head in Oaxaca sand.

Great story here, Rodrigo.
