Hola mis amigos.

Feliz Cumpleaños Senor Secord!!

The weekend has come again…buen fin de semana!!

A special hola to mis amigos in Huatulco who are keeping updated via the blog.

A few notes about yesterday….

In Mexico I expect the drivers to not follow the rules of the road. You don’t have to take a test to get a license and many peeps probably do not even have a license. You just get used to it and it doesn’t stress you out.

Last night I was headed downtown to meet mi hermano for pizza, and I could not believe how bad the drivers were. And these are the ones who supposedly did take a test to get their license? Crazy.

As for Vancouver and region…even in one year it has seen a lot of change. The North Van area around Lonsdale is all condo’d up and as I headed into town last night, I called up the old Bella pizza haunt on Homer…and it is gone!!

But, I was redirected to their new location and when Olen and I met there, we had not only great pie, but great service too. Who knew? The owner was quite excited to hear that I had driven 5700km for a Bella pizza!! Ja ja ja

On to Friday. Overall…a tranquilo day…but the rain returned with a vengeance!!

El gimnasio, a pit stop at Stupid Store to grab some misc items and then a relaxing afternoon at the condo.

While I was gone…Bexico was hard at work with her projects, squeezed in a work out and even sold our last piece of furniture!! With some diligence, we managed to sell it all and this last piece went to a cheap skate. A $100 side table on sale for $25 and she wanted it for $20? Sold…just get it out of our condo!!

Here is one of the latest projects Bexico has completed.


It was a character design based on a foto of the client which he wanted it for his website.

On going projects? She has completed 7 or 8 of the 50 drawing project and will pound out a bunch more this weekend. These pictures are for a drivers education manual…for Australia!! Other side of the road, steering wheel on the other side etc.

She is also about 3-4 hours away from completing another drawing which has 4 characters and a background.

The non-ending project? Short animations for a fitness guy. He wants 3-4 a month which is good work, but again we have a client that is not the best communicator…needs to work on the listening skills!! Bexico does the drawings…not the music side to these animations and even though she tells clients this, they often come back and ask her either where is the music, or can she add music. Doph.

Weekend plans? Bexico is working and I will be watching the race at 11am on domingo and then will hook up with Senor Lower for some pm suds and football.

Have a great weekend all.

Bubba y Bexico
