Conference-ing

New Mexico is just…just one of my favorite places.

We’ve been in Albuquerque since Wednesday. We’ve met up with my school buddy, sat through his panel and presentation, walked around downtown and found a little burger place yesterday, went to Old Town last night and while most all of the shops were closed, our dinner at High Noon Saloon was superb.

This morning we’re meeting Colleen at the Frontier Restaurant for some delicious New Mexico green chile breakfast. This late morning, I’m giving my paper and sitting in on another panel or two. This afternoon we pack it all up, and head North to Santa Fe.

We kept forgetting yesterday was Valentine’s. My valentine got us Peter Mulvey tickets and a room at the La Fonda for tonight. I’m so excited!

I will tell ya, I think I either have an ear infection or this building is moving. I can get dizzy and weird at the drop of a hat this week. Altitude. Different climate. It’s all good…but damn I don’t do dizzy well. I broke my Lenten vow yesterday when I grabbed a cold Sprite to help keep me from throwing up while I was getting ready. Blergh. I’ll start again today.

It’s time for breakfast. Gotta go meet my girl and buy some chile to bring home! Then I’ve gotta come back and act real real smart and stuff.

Have a lovely Friday, ya’ll!
