This weekend I picnicked with my mom and some of her coworkers. We had tacos and hot dogs, with Fritos and chile con queso, and ice-cold, pink lemonade. We enjoyed blue skies for most of the afternoon, and played yard games. I also had the pleasure of running through the sprinkler with The Coranator. Yes, [...]

I’m working on some major overhaul’s for the site, so, stay tuned this weekend.

There’s a little more up at my other joint, and there’s this AP bit at KOB. As I said earlier, Howie is a capable guy with a strong record of commitment to the community. He’s a good choice for the position. I’ll be back with more later today.

I’ve been far too consumed by the New Hampshire results (seriously, wow) that I never had time to get a blog written about the state Senate seat opened by the untimely death of Ben Altamirano. Anyhoo, it looks like, after getting the nod from both Sierra and Grant counties, Howie Morales might be the newest [...]

There’s some interesting things going on in regards to finding somebody to fill Ben Altamirano’s seat in the New Mexico Legislature, evidenced by this Sun News story. I’ll have more on this tonight.

My family helped my grandmother pay off the last $2,500 or so on her mortgage this year as a Christmas present. I wasn’t in Silver City for the event, but everybody who was gathered at her house on Christmas Eve to surprise her. She had no idea we had done it, and was understandably shocked [...]

I was going to write a year in review post, but I’ve been laid up on the couch with some form of bug, so I was less than productive. Anyhoo, maybe tomorrow. For now, best wishes for a wonderful new year!

While upgrading to OS X 10.5 today I encountered the Blue Screen of Death, which is apparently a prevalent problem when making the transition from Tiger to Leopard. Unfortunately, since I couldn’t, you know, use my computer to get online, I had to come up with my own workaround: installing Leopard on my second partition, [...]

I received word via e-mail this morning that. Sen. Ben Altamirano passed away following what’s believed to be a “massive heart attack.” KRQE is reporting he died here in Silver City, while the messages I’ve received indicate he was in Santa Fe. What this means for his district is entirely up in the air right [...]

Here I come! I’ll be heading to New Mexico in the morning, pausing at the El Paso airport while my dad drops off my sister and picks me up. I’ll try to get some blogging done while there, but, either way, Merry Christmas!

Our boss got us these presents before we closed the office for the holidays.

I attended the New Mexico State Society holiday party Wednesday night with a colleague, and introduced him to New Mexico politics. I pointed out Rep. Steve Pearce, Rep. Tom Udall and, of course, Sen. Pete Domenici (Sen. Jeff Bingaman and Rep. Heather Wilson had already left the shindig). We dined on some New Mexican fare [...]
