Congratulations Shari & Darrell
The big day has finally come and so quickly gone, but what a time we all had! We’re a bit tired, so just a quick post. Congrats Shari and Darrell!

Auntie Robin has arrived, so if there is any choppy water in the days ahead, we have an extra deck hand! But things are going great, everything is on track for a wonderful wedding Saturday. It’s getting exciting, Lisa and I are definitely looking forward to having Darrell as part of our family.
Plus, we get to head to Las Vegas on Monday to decompress! Yes!

As I sit here pedaling at the gym and play on my blackberry I am enjoying the calm before the storm that should be arriving next week! I hope that the wedding that we have been working on goes smoothly next Saturday! We have certainly had a lot s*-t storms hit this past week yet I hope the worst is certainly over and I can now be excited to welcome a new son in law!!

We’re nearing the last of our roasted Hatch green chile batch from last season, down to a single quart.
It’s sad to see the last of the baggies pulled from the freezer, especially when it has been an particularly exceptional year. So tasty, so hot. We prepare it in a pretty simple manner. After peeling and chopping I’ll add some sea salt and pepper, and loads of garlic. A touch of water finishes it off. The seeds are integral to the taste, so they are never optional.
So, so good.

Geez, it took nearly 3 weeks into the nuevo ano for me to put up the year’s first post. And there’s been a lot going on! Like getting things ready for Shari & Darrell’s wedding, compiling a huge todo list for 2010, upgrading the CrackBerries, getting my ass kicked by the AMT100i, drooling over the Wrangler side steps I got for Christmas but haven’t installed yet, purchasing our first composter, watching Conan go off on NBC, etc. Man, tons of stuff to post about.
No, for some reason I’ve been too lazy to post anything. I’ll blame it on my depression for the lack of any exciting weather. God, New Mexico can be boring at times. Sun, blue skies, mild temperatures. Yuck. A blizzard would be nice for a change.

Here’s hoping that 2010 is just as amazing as 2009 was Lisa!
I love you so much!

Yes, once again the holidays are here! Now that the house is quiet from a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family and best friends, its nice to sit and enjoy the tree and get the rest of the Christmas cards out. It’s also a really nice feeling to know that our shopping is pretty much complete, thanks to a wonderful trip in September and other on-line shopping! I for one am ready to enjoy the rest of the holiday season relaxing and enjoying family and friends and the beautiful sights and sounds of New Mexico.

We got up early this morning to take advantage of last night’s snowstorm, and wouldn’t you know, it was continuing today. We all loved it!



Oscar and Junior, a bit too much snow for the day. They’re getting tired:
