Today, I am a New Yorker. This might shock people who live in the City, and perhaps simply confuse those who don't. But I've never had food delivered. Clean laundry, yes. Dinner, no. If I want take-out food, I've just always preferred to go and get it. It's all so close.
Oh I've seen many-a Mexican men bike around with food. But it was never for me.
Today, for the first time since I moved here over 4 years ago, I called and ordered me a meal. Souvlaki pita and a greek salad from BZ Grill. It was $15 with tip.

Me and the Senator from Virginia
My parents told me I can take personal responsibility for the Democrats regaining the Senate. Here's me with Senator Jim Webb. He's in the back with the blue baseball cap, talking to my father (recognizable by the crew cut and bald spot). You can't really make Webb's face, but it's him, says my mom.
That's me in 1980 with the marshmallow and hip blue jacket scheming about a Democrat takeover of the Senate 26-years in the future. I do remember the fun day playing with the dogs on some farm in Maryland.

Yucatan
I was down in the Yucatan visiting Zora last weekend. I didn't bring my camera but she just e-mailed me some pictures from the trip.
Mayonnaise bigger than my head. And my head is pretty big.
Mayonnaise and coffee, that famous combo. Strangely, though I was there, it didn’t really strike me as strange till I saw the picture here.
I discovered that tricycles were the most common form of taxi and transport in villiages and small towns. The sad part is they'll probably eventually all get replaced with loud motorized vehicles as they get more money.
There was even the occasional bike path next to some major roads out of town.
I don’t know the story here.
Nor here.
Fire nuts were delicious. Really. Don’t snicker. I don’t why the crunchy-coated peanut snack food doesn’t exist here. It’s big in Holland, too. But not with chile and lime.
Hacienda train. These used to connect the plantations to towns. You can tell from the picture that I’m actually 9 feet tall. Must be the chiles. The people were very small back then. Actually, they still are.
The circus is coming to town!
Oh boy!
I didn't go to Campeche with Zora, but I still dig the color scheme at the Hotel Colonial.
