Two years without you but a memory...I miss you mom, in my own weird way I do. You were always good to me and from you I learned to recognize the simple, often overlooked joys of life, without the pretensions. Also, from you I learned to believe in myself enough to stand up to the "nay" sayers, make your voice count.

Thanks Grace for all your sacrifices and privations for our benefit.
You are a sweet angel
Love

El Veneno

February 9, 2016

When we reached our teenaged years while in Mexico City, we began to hang out with friends from school, get into all sorts of mischief and eventually we began to hang out at parties. In the late 60's, any young adult could count on finding a "Fiesta" somewhere on Friday night, they were everywhere.

My Bff Jose Guerra, was a budding lead guitarist for a band of fellow musician friends, and he'd always have some gig lined up for Friday and or Saturday night. Since I was just starting to learn guitar, I would attend their rehearsals and most of the time join in on the jam sessions and was appaled at how bad their english pronunciation was when they attempted to sing the popular songs of the day.

To help them out, I devised a means of transcribing the songs from english to a form of "Spanglish" were I'd find a way to write the english words in phonetical Spanish, then have them memorize those words. Pretty soon they got good at it enough to were the group was extremely popular.

At 3-4 AM, when the parties were over, we would all be hung over but restless, and looking for someplace to unwind, but since every eatery establishment would be closed at that hour, we all knew we could come over to my house, for my dear mom would have "Pan Dulce" and "Veneno" ready on the stove. Veneno (poison) was nothing more than hot water, Nestle Instant coffee, some evaporated milk and a ton of sugar. It became the popular "After Party" drink, and my mom's kitchen table was were the day's review discussion and future planning would take place until mom, sensing we were sober enough, would send us all home to sleep it off.
