New Move & Future Diaries

In case you are a reader who checks my blog, I want to let you know what is happening in my life.  First, my wife and I are moving to Colombia.  I retired not long ago, and I have long planned to spend the rest of my days in Colombia.  Like any country, it has its good and bad places.  I think we have picked a really good place for retirement: a rural home in the hills, where it is cool and peaceful, the locals are friendly, and fresh water is abundant.  But moving involves a lot of work, so I have had less time to write.

I am also spending more time reading social science textbooks in preparation for future diaries.  It will take some time, but I know it will be rewarding for me.  I hope it will also be rewarding for others in the international Progressive Movement.

Hasta la proxima,

Alex Budarin
