This past weekend I happily eclipsed a personal milestone - I finally went to Mexico. In fact, until just a couple of years ago I'd never even been to Canada, which is odd considering I grew up in a state just across lake Erie.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed struggling to communicate, trying different very rich foods, people watching, and singing at a wedding. The private home at which we performed was amazingly designed and sat on a property filled with interesting features that I don't have time to completely describe. The father of the bride had at least three peacocks that he kept as pets. They usually had the run of his property, but during all the hubbub they could only find peace by staying up on the roof of the house. Quite a sight to see a peacock strutting around up there with his plumage on full display; it reminded me of a living satellite dish. I can't remember what the Spanish word for peacock is, but it's roughly translated "royal turkey". I like that.
I was dismayed on the way home to discover that the two movies I had brought to watch on my laptop were not playable. Ladykillers had arrived in two pieces, and War of the Shaolin Temple was in the War of the Worlds envelope. Weird, huh? Blockbuster Online had better get its act together.
Kind of off subject: You may be wondering why I was singing at a wedding in Mexico. I don't talk much about my job, but if you are curious you can visit this site. I'm the General Manager of the U.S. office.

I knew you performed with them, but didn't know you were the General Manager. Well, get you. What's the relationship between high notes and arm extension? Just wondering.
In France they call the Quarter Pounder with Cheese a Royale with Cheese, which is like the Mexican turkey.
