    This morning, I was a little surprised to look outside very early, and under the new sunlight was a layer of white on the ground. Naturally, much of the white stuff was gone by this afternoon, but the snow lent itself to the mood for the day. I stayed up a bit too late...

    It was nice to wake up this morning to gray skies blanketed over a strong flurry of falling snows outside. It was another true winter day, which I find a really enjoy as an alternative to our prevalent good weather in Albuquerque. Before I awoke to see the snowy skies, though, I was sitting...

    Snow

    The last two days, there was some buildup online and on local TV about a big storm that was coming though today. I got up as usual and worked from home in an overcast day. Around ten, a light flurry arrived and tiny snow swirled out my back door. At 1:40, when I needed...

    I Remember You

    Albuquerque was hit with a healthy heavy overnight snow last night, so my Thanksgiving Day today began with a quiet early morning walk up my street to take in the winter scene, followed by a visit to the vast white field of the Catholic cemetery adjacent to my neighborhood. This vivid little bouquet of...

    Since I am a board game junkie, I have from time to time tried to enlist each of my family members and friends to try a game with me at some point. For my parents, the enlistment time was probably about four months ago, and the game was Ticket to Ride. Ticket to Ride,...

    Day Trip: Bisti Badlands

    After going to Moab early this summer to visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, I told myself I needed to go see some of the other amazing Southwest sites I’d long heard about but put off visiting. As the summer rolled on, a cheery weekend day in August gave me enough incentive to day...

    After I drove into the lot and parked this morning, I got out of my truck and fumbled around trying to drape my backpack on my right shoulder while holding a phone and a coffee mug in one hand and a folder of papers and a lunch bag in the other, and the backpack...

    “GAMES, GAMES, GAMES”

    by  • December 16, 2015 • LifeStuff • 1 Comment

    As a lifelong game fan and a strategy game collector, I had probably the weekend of my life this last weekend. It all started simply enough. I was wrapping up what I was doing at work at about 7 PM on Friday, and I thought I’d drop in on the games section of Craigslist....

    The White Winter Sky

    by  • December 12, 2015 • LifeStuff • 0 Comments

    Whenever winter occasionally visits Albuquerque and dulls and bleaches the sky, I am regularly transported back to a few specific memories from my Chicago days. You know- those stills that get burned into our heads of particular moments, particular images. When I lived in the city, after my brief attempt at marriage failed, I...
