#Mexico My first day in Mazatlán in 11 years, and it was a good one.
This is Plazuela Machado, in Old Mazatlán, just down the street from the hotel I'm staying in. Lots of human activity there, even on Christmas night.

#caturday Cheddar, who lives in Vancouver, engaging in one of his favourite activities.

#CoSoSports #ncaa Here's a factoid that I think is extremely cool. Incoming NCAA President and about-to-be-former MA Governor Charlie Baker played basketball at Harvard. His successor, Maura Healy played professional basketball in Europe before her political/legal career.
Here's a picture of the two of them.
P.S. Baker is moving into a very difficult job. I wish him success.

#ukraine Too good not to pass around.

#CoSoCanucks Taken on my daily walk on MacArthur Island, Kamloops, #britishcolumbia this afternoon.

#CoSoCanucks While the World Cup team was getting most of the attention, Canada won the #DavisCup. For people that follow tennis, this is a big deal.

I no longer live in #mexico , but I have continued the tradition of getting a poinsettia every year.

#caturday Shaun King, Katie Halper, Ryan Grim, Rich McHugh, Nathan J. Robinson, and a cat. Not in the picture: @nicolesandler , Amy Goodman @DemocracyNow, Krystal Ball.

#caturday This is Richard Parker. When I moved from Mexico to Canada in May, I had to separate him and Arenita, mainly because the two of them fought all the time. Richard now lives with a Mexican family in Guanajuato.

Here's Arenita on #caturday
Born in Mexico, moved to Canada with me. She doesn't normally watch TV, but she likes "Inside Llewyn Davis" and "The Crown".

#CoSoCanucks #canada #britishcolumbia #kamloops My first in-person Remembrance Day in eleven years, and my first-ever in Kamloops. And for me and most of the people in the crowd, it was the first time we ever heard and/or sang "God Save the King" instead of "God Save the Queen".

My cat Arenita doesn't normally watch TV, but tonight I was watching the film "Inside Llewyn Davis", and one of the characters in that film, Ulysses, definitely caught her attention.

#britishcolumbia #canada Made my first-ever trip to Wells Gray Provincial Park. Heavy snow is forecast for tomorrow, so today was my last chance to go there this year. This picture is Helmcken Falls.

#canada Since lots of people here are posting pictures, this is Cinnamon Ridge, above the Kamloops Airport.
