The Good Old Days

My friend Kaisha put together a music video with all sorts of shots of where we live. Check it out on you tube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZLV3B1dz1U

Mi casa es su casa!

So this is my place....ok, ok, I only live on the bottom floor.


Sunset view from the back patio.

The godfather gets it done!

I now have a bank account! After twelve tries and many, many hours with attorneys and bank people, I can now accept money in this country! I met with a new attorney in San Jose that supposedly had friends in high places at the bank. He looked like some sort of mafia big shot. We walked in to the bank and everyone immediately recognized him, he talked to some guy for a minute, walked back to me and in a Godfather-esque tone said (english with a thick spanish accent), "They are going to give you an account today, everything is going to be fine." Now I just need my insurance, and I am in business. I applied 3 weeks ago, and it should've only taken a few days, but the government insurance agency is backed up...and so it goes.
