After 2 1/2 wonderful years in Mexico, my great adventure here is drawing to a close. Guenny finally received her U.S. Residency Visa and we'll be moving stateside by the end of June. We will both be pursuing exciting new opportunities. In the words of Bilbo Baggins: "I think I'm quite ready for another adventure." Viva!

Last year, 43 teachers were murdered in Iguala, Mexico. They were attempting to hold a peaceful protest at a conference held by the Mayor's wife. So far, over 80 individuals (including the mayor, his wife and 44 police officers) have been arrested and the Governor of Guerrero has resigned. After a national outcry, justice for the slain is being served. So tell me again, why is there no justice for Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown. Unarmed civilians gunned down for defensively striking a security guard or turning with "menace" towards a cop. Is this justice?

I applaud justice wherever it is served. I am saddened when I see the innocent punished.

Bin Laden is dead, most of our troops have come home from Iraq and Afghanistan (though thousands remain active), diplomacy restored to Cuba, gay marriage legal in nearly every state, marijuana legal in five, somewhat more affordable healthcare on average for nearly everyone (including millions of newly insured children), gas prices under $2 in many states, unemployment at 5%, no major terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in over a decade, a growing housing and job market, more college grads than ever before, a strong currency, and a thriving tech market; things sure are better now than in November 2008. Whoever is to blame for this: nice job. ¡Viva!

I heard them as they approached my street, the band line. All drums and trumpets and colorful outfits and feet dancing to the beat. My street, my little corner of the world. I wouldn't trade it for anything. ¡Viva!

I should be thinking about the food and the tequila and the BBQ coming up, but all I can think is: "Dear God, please Tom Brady and the Patriots suffer a humiliating defeat. Sincerely, a Miami Dolphins fan".
