Most recollections tend to fade with time. This one didn’t. During the first decade of this century, my publisher arranged for me to go on a series of book tours. This was before Zoom and podcasts and the demise of many bookstores altered the way new books are launched. There was a tour when the hardbound version was released, then another a year later when the paperback edition came out. There were five tours in all during those years, for three different books.
This brought to mind Sen. Tuberville's comment about Mexicans last week, that they aren't Christians. I mean, how could anyone that ignorant be a US Senator, and earlier in life, a BCS-level football coach?
During my tavels and residencies abroad, people have asked m. why am I here? I never have a ready answer. Mostly, I'm here because I'm here. I only planned one trip in my life, from the US to Europe. All the others were acts of fate.

His question was doltish. Why travel? Read the book! : )
We just had family visiting and my brother in law asked why we chose to live in Mexico. I said it was initially my feeling that I just belonged here.
