Profile Information

Where I Live:
UNM South
About Me:
I am director of online marketing and new media for a welding supply company....

Had to move to Albuquerque from San Diego when I was accepted in the MFA program at UNM.

Everyone always asks about my moniker, JeSais.... here's what I can tell you:

JeSais is my nickname, derived one new year’s eve. Actually we all came up with new names for ourselves that night– new names for the new millenium.

My friend Kim, became Miki, which is sort of the opposite of Kim… she was in the process of getting a divorce and we decided that she needed a new name for the wonderful new life she would be leading… actually I think the whole crazy plan was my idea, which was how I was dubbed “Je Sais”

For some time Ralph had been calling me, Je Ne Sais Quois (french for “I don’t know anything) instead of my given name “Jennifer” so that night, in drunken brilliance, I was re-named Je Sais, which is french for “I know”.

Marty wanted to be called Ibrahim… the Spanish translation of the name Abraham. He had a long explanation about how great Abraham (the biblical one) was… and the rest of us, laughing uproariously, named him “Ibby” as any translation of a biblical great was way too lofty for one with as big an ego as Marty…

Ralph became “Stack,” an old nickname of a favorite uncle and the rest is history….

Eight. Apparently at Nob Hill Bar and Grill last night if you weren't paying attention, a 20% gratuity was added to your tab (if you bought a dinner). First I asked some of my fellow DCFers. Greg didn't recall if it had b… Continue

JeSais....hey, just so you know, there is nothing wrong with asking people on the Fix. I'm just amazed at how much is online these days. Wow! I love it, too!

I just finished watching a bunch of those videos on the visitors site. What a great job they've done. Love it! (the small burg I left back in 1978 has grown up sooooooooooo much)

I'm so pleased with the Breakfast Burrito thread! I now have so many new places I need to try out. Did you know you were opening Pandoras box when you started the thread?

Green Chile, New Mexican Food Restaurants, Breakfast Burritos, Nob Hill, West Side Development, public transportation infrastructure, and the mayor are all topics that will get DCF riled up in no time.

Thanks for sending me to Jill's site. I'll definitely check it out. Where's she based?
