Profile Information

Where I Live:
Near the Bosque in the South Valley
About Me:
Eckleburg and Grumblecake are a dynamic duo of Duke City natives. They attended Eldorado and Highland High Schools (respectively), and then UNM, where they met and married.

After spending some time in the Washington D.C. vortex, they returned to ABQ, and have found that they love it more than ever.

Eck and Grumble make their home in an adobe in Albuquerque's South Valley with their daughter, the Grumbeckle. #2 arrived in October 2008, and still doesn't have a cool DCF handle yet. Suggestions?

Are you on twitter? So are Eck and Grumble!
They used to share eckandgrumble, but one day Eck got fed up with Grumble's social butterly tendencies and "divorced" Grumble on twitter by starting his OWN twitter account - eckleburg.
Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:
Our friendly and kooky vecinos, green chile, and the Rio Grande.
Relationship Status:
Married
My Website:
http://www.dukecityfix.com
What I'm Reading:
Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, A Field Guide to Western Birds, In a Mexican Garden, The Baby Book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Twitter Means Business, Discipline the T. Barry Brazelton Way
What I'm Listening To:
Edith Grove, The Rivet Gang, The Handsome Family, Jana Pochop

Spring is Already Springing in Albuquerque

Over on twitter,@jfleck is musing about signs of Spring in ABQ. He notes that "wintering birds are heading north," and "Bulby things coming up in my yard."

I'm noticing Spring all around, and last night I dreamed that I saw a hummingbird. (That's wishful thinking).

Here's what I've actually seen:


  • My forsythia is blooming. Started over a week ago, actually.

  • My mom's mini iris

Pro's Ranch Market Grand Opening Line is Too Long


Since I had the day off anyway, I went to the grand opening of Pro's Ranch Market. I got there 15 minutes before the opening and it was already insane! There were essentially no parking spots anywhere (and it is a HUGE parking lot). Then the line went all the way from… Continue

Greetings Don Schrader Fans and Friends!

Have you noticed that for the last few days we have been a "featured group"? See: http://www.dukecityfix.com/groups

I do not know how long it will last, but now would be a fitting time to share your Don Schrader stories by starting a new thread or responding to one that I got going.

I for one am hungry for Schrader stories.

Be Well.
