Launch Reading for Eyes of the Cuervo / Ojos del Crow in Mexico
You know you’re over-committed when you’ve managed to download and edit a launch-reading video and then forgotten to upload it to your website. Yep, I’ve done just that but am correcting the oversight now. Below you’ll see me reading the English originals and my friend Iván Fuentes reading the Spanish translations, where were beautifully done by Patricia Herminia.

Seeking the Muse in Mexico
My wife Melody and I are heading out for Mexico today—our 13th year at our favorite mini-resort, Petit Lafitte, situated about 6 miles north of Playa del Carmen, on the Caribbean side of the Yucatán peninsula. Our first week will be all tangled up with Melody’s annual Yoga Fiesta. And who knows? This year I may even pretzelize!
