notes and reflections

On the first of July, 2007, after a career as an advertising writer, a television and film producer and director and as a tutor of ESL, I left the United States with the idea of perhaps retiring in Mexico.  After searching the Internet for areas where I might be comfortable, I settled on Morelia in the state of Michoacan.  This is a city  of approximately 1,000,000 with a historic central district dating from the 1500s, a mild year around climate and many modern features including an excellent language school, theaters, museums, supermarkets and, perhaps unfortunately, MacDonalds and Starbucks.

Since I made my living most of my life by writing, starting this blog was a no brainer.  Hopefully it will give me an outlet to express my opinions about this new place and some of the surrounding areas.

So...stay tuned.  With luck perhaps you and I will both learn something and enjoy the experience.
