Here's a part of his post from November 2011.
"After reading a few of her posts on foreigners acting like sluts at milongas in Buenos Aires, and all the promiscuity going on down there, I had a renewed sense of self-worth. To read how much of a tourist trap the tango scene in Argentina has become, I felt better about my situation and all the times I have forced myself to act in a manner my children would not be ashamed of.
I probably feel ‘lost’ because I’m single and I’m poor. I should be happy because I’ve got two healthy daughters in great colleges and I’m healthy as well, but it is difficult not to wish I was rich and in a relationship with a great woman. C’est la vie! Life is always greener on the other side.
Which brings me back to the writer of the tango-spam blog. I think she is not happy and sounds kind of lost. She’s healthy and living in her dream city, hoping to meet Mr. Right. One thing I got on her is, I know how good we’ve got it here. She is just now finding out that she lives in a society where she will always be just an object of sexual desire and the dance she loves so much has become so commercial it is hard for her to find it in its true form."
My comment- Perri, travel to the deep south. The tango awaits you.

One day I will go down there but not right now. My daughters would never forgive me. They're both going to Africa next semester and I'm trying to muster support for their plane tickets. My oldest has registered a webpage to solicit support: http://www.gofundme.com/Iezzoniadventure I apologize for the solicitation but I owe it to my girls to be supportive. Looks like I'm going to be working in Dallas starting soon. There is a good tango scene there and it is very bilingual so I will work on learning Spanish to prepare for my eventual trip to the 'Deep South'.
