Well, there have been some interesting things going on in the Daily Lobo lately... Just keeping an eye on the discussion boards and daily featured posts should give you a good idea of the latest hot topics.

I'm attracted to that plate like a moth to a outdoor light. I can't help myself. But do you have to actually go into the MVD to get one?

ABQ Day Trip: San Lorenzo Canyon


Here's a gem a little over an hour south of Albuquerque near Socorro: San Lorenzo Canyon Recreation Area. The road that connects to the canyon is sandy, but decently kept. We made it fine with a front wheel drive car, though I coul… Continue

Further Adventures in ABQ Recycling


So far I've dropped off hazardous household materials and taken a collection of glass bottles to go live in the great glass bottle ranch in the sky. Now, I find myself faced with a slow New Year clean out of my garage. The cardboard boxes I have no problem with - break them down and toss them in the recycling… Continue

I've Been Working on the Railroad


Technically speaking, I hope to be working on the railroad before too long. After attending the New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society (I know, that's a long name. We'll call it the NMSLRHS) open house, I joined up. An individual member… Continue

Young Edward Puts a CorkFest In It


There's a found metal sculpture in my back yard. His mid section is made up of a giant spring. His name is (drumroll please) Jerry Springer and he came from a CorkFest some years back. CorkFests have a way of sticking around long a… Continue

State Fair Mini Donut Disaster


I went to the fair today. Just across from the 4H animal exhibits under the big red roof, I saw what I thought was a Tom Thumb Donuts stand. Yippee! My heart sang an aria. Closing in on the booth, I noticed that it was actually a "Tom Toms" Donuts. Hmmm.... okay. Is this like one of those 7-Eleven versus 7 To… Continue

There used to be a hardcore band back in NJ called Clubber Lang too! Gotta love that stuff.

I know a drummer for hire if you've got some cash. Let me know if you want his number.

No from Apollo Creed! I actually started calling my dog that when he was a puppy, for obvious reasons. When I joined DCF I had a picture of the dog up. I'll have to check out the John Hiatt song. Any gigs coming up for you?

Thanks for letting me know. I realize the pictures we use are usually out of our current time loop - but I've always really liked your haircut as shown in your pic!

Edith, I am just curious - Did you dine at Jennifer James on Saturday night June 20? It's hard to tell from these avatar photos but someone seated near me looked at lot like your picture.

My meal, as a matter of fact, was so spectacular I was almost embarrassed by my good fortune to be eating there.

I've made you (along with a number of other musically connected people) an administrator in the Music Lounge group. I figured since I'm not very active, I might as well pass the torch to people who are.

Edith - hi! I just wanted to let you know that today marks three weeks since Pam and I left California. It's been busy but fun. We hope to have the house done and NM license plates on our car within 3 weeks.

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to be home. Can't wait to get on a normal schedule in a few weeks as well.

I hope you're doing well, too!
