My home in Piste Yucatan Mexico is 3 km from Chichen Itza.
I am there during summers teaching and directing an anthropology field school out of my home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

shouted so loud when Real Madrid scored against PSG in my office that a woman from several offices down hall came to tell me that they could hear me shouting in the phone line....

ok. not amazing, but funny.
... well may not very funny even.
but amazingness and amazements are so situational. thus without the telling of the story... there is usually not much there
