From my sketchbook archives, here's a page of monastery plaza sketches I did in Lima, Peru when Kathy and I ventured to South America to visit our son, Thomas Charles, who was in the Peace Corp in a mountain village named Yanque.

There is a new show on Netlix from Mexico and it has the coolest collection of hats I have seen in a long time. Unfortunately, the story doesn't quite work for me and I found myself mystified because I really wanted to dig the show. So my son Tomas ordered the book—Pedro Paramo—and I found out that the film is based on a revered Mexican book by Juan Rulfo.
"Almost 70 years after its publication, the novel's impact continues to resonate, making it one of the most significant works in Mexican literature. Directing this film adaptation has been an exciting challenge and a deeply personal journey that has led me to explore my own connections to the ghosts of previous generations of my family, just as Juan Preciado did when he arrived in Comala in search of his father, a man named Pedro Páramo."

Mick Davis sure has good taste in art. Those are all Triple B works of art he bought at a yard sale and I must admit they look better here than in my yard.
