Still Life

On two different occasions in three years, an old friend from up north has come to visit. In both cases I eagerly looked forward to the company, but then . . . .

A Joint Enterprise

This little man is learning how to walk. His grandfather is assisting during a practice session in Plaza Allende after mass on a Sunday morning. They are both obviously determined.

Hoops

I have often gone over to the park, Parque Benito Juárez, on Saturday to watch the young men play basketball. In fact when my friend Scott was here last fall, we took in a game together. What I did not know until a week ago Sunday is that the young women play there on Sunday. I am usually fully occupied with my various devotionals on Sundays of course.

San Antonio Body Shop

I was reluctant to put up this photo for fear that someone would think that I am having fun with the primitive appearance of this little shop. Quite the contrary.

Status Report

I have had some technical problems here that interrupted the red hot blogging streak that I was on. Some on-and-off electricity over the weekend blew out my adapter cord for this notebook. A brand new 130-watt adapter cord is winging its way here from Dell. However, it will take some time for my mail service to get it through customs in Laredo. In the meantime I was able to find a 90-watt adapter cord at Radio Shack that will hold me for the interim. Radio Shack of México to the rescue! I have found that these power cords are not cheap.

An older man now, I enjoy sunrise only after I have slept.
