Piano lessons for an adult? 10 Replies
Anyone know of an adult-friendly piano teacher? I imagine it must be slower-going teaching someone in her 30's versus an agile kiddo, so I'm looking for someone with patience and passion for teachi...

It seems likely that I will be having Thanksgiving out this year (due to a combo of circumstances that preclude cooking at home, going to a friend's house, or being in the Bahamas instead). Here a...

Happy Thanksgiving and other local weekend haps
It's the day before the big turkey, family, friends, crazy eating day. Whew. While some of us are gearing up by consuming nothing but a thin consommé in prep, others are doing exactly the opposite (stretching, as it were).

The place is amazing -- if you haven't been in there, so worth a trip! -- and this gift certificate is some lucky winner's ticket to a cool holiday gift for a loved one (… Continue

Morning Fix
I have a confession. I thought, stupidly, that I didn't have enough on my plate, what with four kids, a husband, two cats, a dog, 15 hours at UNM plus a TA gig in another 3 hour course...so I offered to watch my friend's dogs while she is out of town. One is a quiet, 7 year old, small white dog, the other is an… Continue

End of a Friggin Era
"Gone" as in bulldozed. To the ground. It's dead. Nicht mehr. Bleeding deceased.
I worked (and lived) at the Hofbrau back in the early to mid-1980s along with my ex-wife and ex-girlfriend and a cast of characters including world famous bartender Mary Schwering, Owners… Continue

Morning Fix
So what else is new? "In less than six weeks, the federal government will be treating New Mexicans as foreigners, as your state driver's license may no longer get you through airport security." I guess we all hoped that the Obama adminis… Continue

JROTC, APS, and a Culture of Violence
Does JROTC foster a culture of violence, as some in Albuquerque purport?

The Sunday Poem: Todd Moore... instructions
A gun barrel, 70 words, 37 lines. This skinny poem looks like a coffin nail, a phallic gesture, a rush to death, or the passage of Time itself. But along its narrow length are 37 little framed pictures clicking by as you drop down the page.
"When I read a poem I want it to be something that could sc… Continue

chapter 108 takes place at the rio grande zoo
