The play, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You, came up today. Wow, it is a dark, funny tale of growing up Catholic I'm surprised hasn't been performed here!

It is easy to forget all the churches seen around town aren't just photographic props. As Sister Mary Ignatius explained there's a time and place for everything.

Happy upcoming birthday to Alfred Hitchcock. Obsessed with appearing in all his movies Lifeboat presented a challenge as the movie took place on a, well, lifeboat. Pictured is his solution. Lifeboat was Tallulah Bankhead's best cinematic performance until playing the Black Widow on TV's Batman!

Had planned on decorating for Xmas with peppermints this year but now have to rethink that idea.

Carrot Top is still performing live!

Have to admire a lad with a big banana!

Rumor is the best looking gals are from Guadalajara but as you see here that is a sympathy vote. The truly gorgeous and fashionable women are in San Miguel de Allende!

The celebrations for El Senor del Trabajo continued into this weekend. The image reminds folks of the work involved for JC to be crucified.

Once took a class to learn how to make these and all I got for my efforts was one lousy basket and bloody palms. Obviously some folks have way more talent as this one even has a secret compartment!

My fellow danzoneros performing in Leon on Friday! (Bit too long of a bus ride for me to conquer at the moment.)

Time to party! The FB page San Miguel de Allende Secrets - Events has topped over 14K members, a feat that gobsmacks me. Have an event-full weekend!

Mary was looking and smelling especially lovely today!

For the upcoming celebrations for St. Louis in his namesake colonia. The only French lad to be both a monarch and a saint!

Coach Sue Sylvester was on vacation in town but took the time to work on some Cheerio cheer routines. The gal is a consummate professional!

On Netflix, a Calgary docu-drama of a woman found in basement in a tornado of blood and her black lab, even after days of her being dead, never came down to check on her. Either this gal was wildly klutzy, fell down the steps, spun like a top to bleed everywhere and had the world's most sh*te dog, or someone managed to pull off a perfect murder. My money's on the cat who didn't even bother to start nibbling off the corpse's ears like they are prone to.

Don't let his table manners fool you, Pepe ate FOUR dogs' chicken dinners when left unsupervised while visiting a pal today!

The Mexican Hairless Dog was the only breed around when the Spanish arrived here. Very loyal, the dog would be killed and buried with his master to guide he/she/Hershey through the Underworld much like Dante did in Coco.

Honestly, if she hadn't been talking so loudly I would have never noticed her while crossing the road.

Practicing to perform danzon at the Senior Expo in Leon! (Oddly the one in dark glasses is not the one who is blind.)

No priests in town this week as they are at the yearly retreat at our cloistered monastery. Knowing this, on one tour, I brought out a bunch of cakes to feed all the visitors to which an exasperated monk comment "Are those for all those fat priests from centro?" Visiting clergy, like fish, go bad in 3 days.

Feast of St. Ignacio, a day normally reserved for picking up fresh holy water supplies to keep at home to place among doors, windows and computers to keep criminals away. Quite effective.

Oh, you don't know I exist
And I wouldn't be missed
If I had the nerve to quit you

The recent rains have had amazing results!

Nana's favorites - Daisies, please don't eat!

Learned today “La Bamba” is based on enslaved west Africans who had been brought over to Mexico by Spanish colonists but escaped into the Veracruz mountains, and lived there with the indigenous.

An oldie but goodie. Won tickets to see her live by answering a survey. To the question "Your sister marries Andrew Dice Clay so you...." I answered ask to borrow money.

Bit about presidential eligibility is comedy gold. If you like Paula's standup you may also like Janeane Garofalo's 1995 special as they started in Boston at...

Happy Friendship Day named in honor of the feast day of siblings Mary, Martha and Lazaro - best known as JC's best pals!
