  • I had a M.A.S.H. moment when a helicopter approached the fields where I was walking Uma and the neighbor’s dog this morning. It turned out there were four helicopters transporting diverse politicians that came to inaugurate an athletic field for the town of San Andrés, just a couple hundred meters away from the bottom of the pyramid. I thought it was a bit exaggerated for a field that is equivalent to any US high school’s, but here it’s a major investment, and I guess it needed some kind of ceremonial official opening; supposedly, the helicopters were transporting the president! This information I took with a grain of salt as it came from one of the guards in the perimeter. “Highly unlikely”, I thought, “like he doesn’t have many much more important things to do or inaugurate. Yet, the governor might have quite likely been there, despite all the much more important things he should be doing.” I wonder if all the paraphernalia around this event (helicopters, policemen, army men, press, etc.) cost more than the field itself…
  • I’m advancing in my long-procrastinated projects. It feels so good to be working on getting them out of my system!
  • An extra-long nap.
