Where I Live:: Barelas (and Washington, DC)

About Me:: My real name is Teresa Blankmeyer Burke. I'm a bioethicist and philosopher, an activist/advocate, a writer, and a mom. I spend enough time at the Sunport that gate crew members recognize me by sight, but given my druthers, I'd rather be biking in the bosque or hiking the Sandias.

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: Bosque bike trail south of NHCC, B. Ruppe Drugstore; Mediterranean Garden in the Biopark; Las Mananitas, El Modelo, Three Gun Springs Trail; Rio Grande Special Collections Library; sunshine; wonderful people

Relationship Status:: Single

My Website:: http://barelenasblather.blogspot.com/

What I'm Reading:: UK Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (I'm getting tired of reading and rereading this bill and want it to go away....pul-lease!)

Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons

"Are Philosophers Responsible for Global Warming?" and other articles from the green edition (Jan/Feb 2008) of Philosophy Now

Richard White's Radical Virtues: Moral Wisdom and the Ethics of Contemporary Life

(shameless self-promotion plug follows)
writings by fellow essayists in Signs & Voices: Deaf Culture, Identity, Language, and Arts, edited by the amazing Kristin A. Lindgren, Doreen DeLuca and Donna Jo Napoli, Gallaudet University Press.

What I'm Listening To:: Thuds and hoots - the students are moving into the dorms tonight.

At 8:44am on August 25th, 2008, Doug R said…: You asked about us....we're doing okay. The lumbar puncture that Pam endured last Thursday was still hurting her today. But thank god she didn't have a brain tumor. What a wake up call for us. I am finalizing the details with my boss but it appears that he doesn't want to lose me. So, we'll stay at Grandma's house near Ridgecrest and I'll probably walk into NM with a job. I'm still preparing as if I am coming without one. I have worked too long for Silicon Valley firms to think everything is set. And besides, how long that will last in NM is a mystery. I've been with too many companies that went out of business or were acquired. But it gets us out and that is all that matters.

Pam is looking forward to getting out of high tech and working in something else. She jokes about working for Lavande Bleu that shop in Nob Hill off Carlisle (about 1 mile from where we're going to live).

We are so excited about moving. I think we'll be the happiest people in town when we arrive. I can't wait but we still have slightly less than 6 months to go.

At 7:57am on August 19th, 2008, Doug R said…: A writer and a professor. Do you want sleep inducing material? Do you? (ha ha). I'll send you one of my "whitepapers" for software solution I sell. Or pass along a research analyst report about my industry - web analytics.

Take care....

It feels good to write about what's going on behind the story. As you know, we only have so much time during the newscast. Take care and thank you again!

At 11:54am on August 10th, 2008, Joe S Sausage said…: Hey BB, i need probably, like 2 bushels maybe more, but. i'm not ready for the grapes yet, if you could just let them stay on the vine, i need to fine a container, ideally a small barrel, ok, let me go to the brewery or talk to some of my brewer friends, i'll be in touch, but if you're in the neighborhood and you want to say hi, i'll be @ my shop making sausage most of the day on monday, thanks.

At 10:16pm on August 3rd, 2008, Rita said…: indeed, make the trip to the pueblo--I'll be thinking of you! And yes, when I do make that trip home....

At 6:48pm on August 2nd, 2008, Rita said…: BB, would have loved to arrive in Burque yesterday! However, with the impending nuptials of The Child, it looks like we might not make the trip--another set of four airline tickets and a rental for the week is not in the budget. I'm thinking a drive at Thanksgiving might be better for us all. I'm disappointed to miss the ever delightful and huge fiestas in Santo Domingo--ever been? They are awesome and people travel from far and wide to get a look at the fabulous corn dance and tastes of the pueblo. If one is lucky enough, and invitation to dine at someone's home is always a delight. Hey, 45 miles north on I-25 on Monday is something that should be on your agenda. Take a water bottle and an umbrella for it either rains or you melt in the heat.

I'll keep you posted, though. Have a great rest of the weekend!
