churlita: i will DEFINITELY give that a shot next time!

mike: it would be an absolute delight to be stuck on a plane for 4 hours next to you, because i know we’d order some scotch, and then you could tell me all the master gardener stories you wanted to. :)

Also, I hope I am as batshit crazy as he is.

I’m a freak magnet, so that guy sits next to me everywhere I go. I’ve learned to plug into something and pretend I can’t hear. I like the “smile and point to the earbuds and apologetic shrug like it’s all out of my control” maneuver. You might want to practice it before you fly again.

I met up with a friend of mine from school and when I saw her house, and particularly her family’s lush, green grassy lawn, I thought, “Ah, this is what having money in Albuquerque looks like.” All of which is to say, there are sprinklers to be had. ;)

CHECK!

shari: i’m not sure that’s commendable, but i tried fake sleeping and it didn’t work. then i decided it was better if i kept my eyes open. plus, it always makes for good fodder.

capricorn cringe: ah, just throw a nice coat of paint over the walls and you’ll never notice!

I wouldn’t want to live in a house made of mud, straw and shit. But maybe that’s just me.

You are to be commended for such good behavior in the face of such boorishness. I mean, people are fascinating and all, but… ugh.

Thankfully, it sounds like Santa Fe more than made up for the pain of getting there.
