Howdy friends,

I’ve been in NM for the past four days or so and away from the cpu.

Katie’s family here is doing great, and we have had a good time together; yesterday I set up a new blog for Katie’s mother!

Also, I used the very fun gift from Gerardo and Roxanna, The Dangerous Book for Boys, to make paper airplanes with my nephew Nathan, who is about 5 years old.  They were a big hit, and I ended up making about 7 of them for his little brother Adam and my twin nieces, Ava and Addi, who, though they didn’t really like to throw the planes much, still wanted one to hold.

Katie and I went to the Flying Star cafe, a hip eatery that is kind of like Jason’s Deli but with some more authentic local cuisine and style.  I ordered the New Mexico burger which came topped with green chiles.

Katie found out about a sustainable farm in Oregon run by an ex-software developer and his wife, via The Beginning Farmer.  There’s a video of their farm on the Beginning Farmer’s site; he talks about getting tired of working in a cubicle for 25 years (tell me about it :) ).

I return to Austin tomorrow and just have one week before my wife returns!
