I am relatively new to the Baja community.

Me, in bullet points:

44

Got divorced last year after 20 years of marriage.

Have three wonderful sons, 21 (just finished paramedics training), 19 (freshman at Cal Berkeley), 16 (life's ambition--to become the next Eminem; he keeps me entertained constantly)

Ex wife got the L.A. abode and so I had to move South of the Border to be able to afford a place to live--I live in Las Playas de Tijuana.

I own a high rise window cleaning company which serves the greater Los Angeles and San Diego communities, mostly hotels. The great recession and the great alimony monster took a great chunk of my business. So I am adjusting to living life with less, but I am an optimist (An optimist fell off a 20 story building. You know what he said at the tenth floor? So far, so good.) Well, so far, so good.

I am also a member of the Screen Actors Guild but haven't done any films in two years. Still got residuals coming in (thank God for Bulgarian tv junkies). Also a screenwriter and playwright. Acting has taken me around the U.S. and abroad--so, I'm kind of digging being in the same spot for a while.

I have a Mexican girlfriend, which has proven quite interesting (think Lucy and Ricky) to say the least.

Interested in conversing and potentially hanging with some fellow ex-pats. Thanks for the opportunity to join .

I like Scotch and a good cigar and long walks on the beach...ah, just give me the Scotch and cigar and a long seat on the beach. I still have road scars and saddle sores. The only time I run now is when I'm chasing my Schnauzer around (which is more often than I would like ).

So where does everyone hang out? Count me in. Thanks for reading my scratch.

Welcome to the forum Jake....

Welcome to TalkBaja, Jake. Good to see you here.
May I suggest......there's a theatre group in Rosarito that may interest you, not only for the acting opportunity, but for the good contacts as well. A bunch of nice folks.
Don't know exactly how you make contact, but a lot of the expats there are involved with the Red Cross. That should be somewhat easy to locate.

I guess the term "Break A Leg" would have double meaning????

Hi,

I know it is a little further south but what about the Fox studios in Ensenada?

Too bad you were not way further south, I might have shared a Scotch and swapped Divorce stories. NO cigar though I would be afraid of falling back into the bad smoking habit that I gave up 7 years ago.
(I admit I do think about it though, the occasional smell of those Cuban Cohiba's touch off the sensory nerves occasionally)

Fox Studios is a lot closer to Rosarito than Ensenada. Good idea, tho.
