about me

30 year old northwesterner, searching for others to increase my network of community. I am talkative, contemplative, funny, boring, interesting, broke, rich with non-economic benefits, and really really trying to connect spiritually with my community and surroundings. I have a wonderful partner whom I have joined to live in Mexico and we are working towards moving to Vancouver BC in the next few years. "Oh Canada, our home and native land...." - in the mean time looking to develop a stronger network of folks around Merida, Yucatan.

small steps in the House of Reps

A tiny step in the House of Reps came when Speaker Pelosi required a greening of the food services. Now you can by fair trade coffee from Pura Vida and feel confident that your flimsy discardables are biodegradable. They claim...

Businesses Go Big...

Buying local is so important because of the level of trust and transparency between a business and its customers when a business is at a 'manageable' size. Big corporations lose this trust/transparency because there is TOO much information and infrastructure...

Top Grafter Sites for 2007

2007 went out with, well, a whimper. Christmas and New Years in a country where my language is limited (still on my part, yes!) left me ready to break down and pay lots of money for language school. That's it!...

My Blog

PHew, Home

After a week in the 'States' I'm back. It was sort of a crazy week. A funeral for a beloved Aunt, a trip to the park with my nephew, some beer and cheese and then sickness ( a reverse Montezuma...

My 30th Birthday

I turned 30 and went ice skating. You think that would be possible in a tropical climate? You haven't seen the 4 fancy new malls built here, including one with an ice skating rink. That day was momentous also because...

Apples & Oranges

Orange Juice here is crazy cheap!! I can get a liter of fresh squeezed goodness a block for my house for $10 pesos (or around $1USD). It's a great way to start the day. Last night I was lounging in...

I've been here and not here

I have three more weeks teaching English in Campamento Hidalgo. The experience has been pretty nice. The area is beautiful and I have relished spending more time outdoors. The biggest problems I've had has been the amount of ticks! While...

Chocolate Chip Scones

MMMMMMMMMM yummy. Chocolate Chip scones. I couldn't find the right type of cream, so I used some really thick sour creamy-like substance (without the sour). It turned out pretty well using a really basic recipe. I think too many chocolate...
