I came to Mexico City to visit my best friend. It is the first time I’ve been outside of Puebla since the beginning of the pandemic. There is not much I can add to this brief anecdote, as we arrived yesterday from Puebla and had a late lunch which then morphed into moderate drinking which we ended at 2am.

The weekend was filled with lessons, but I cannot and don’t need to register all lessons. But I do wish to register what is most salient: the fact that I proposed Marina that she performed as a nude artist model. Her response was more or less what I expected: hesitance. I am hesitant too, I am not really sure this is something I want to get involved in, and I felt sympathy for her hesitance.

But I also sense that we will end up doing it, Marina in her need for economic support, me in my need for new experience. This is a prediction of outcome, and only time will confirm or deny this prediction.
