¡Hola! ¿Qué tal, Mexico City?

A long layover afforded us a constitutional in the neighborhood surrounding Benito Juarez Airport. Benito Juarez was the first full-blooded indigenous president of Mexico. There has yet to be a full-blooded indigenous president of the United States. Advantage: Mexico.

It is here that I discovered not only do my shoes match the buildings and trucks, but the donuts are the best in the world.

  • The Pizzicato Effect

    In classical music, Pizzicato is the plucking of a muted string on a violin. The effect (in my opinion) is the indication of the note for your heart to play.

    This can also be achieved in directing. We do not go to the theater to admire an actor have an emotion. We go to have the emotion for ourselves.

    The Pizzicato Effect is theatre and film in their highest forms. This is what I'm after.
