After living in the same place for 30 years and raising two terrific kids, the Goots are on the cusp of a great new adventure or a "What the fuck have we done?" disaster. Our objective: Bush-free and mortgage-free living. Our starting point, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Through this blog, we intend to share our journey with friends, family and kindred spirits.
Today's the birthday of Russian novelist, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who said, "One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to."
Per our favorite blogger, Margaret Gordon: Karen & Mike Goot – Generation Now Hippies – inseparable, delightful, creative and completely unafraid. Kids in a candy store! They make me want to say the word “Groovy” in a thousand different dialects.
