It is 20-something degrees this morning. And I am going out? A question for myself. I did -- and do -- have a plan to take a sandwich over to the church office (internship site) and eat lunch with my friend the secretary. Monday is Pastor's day off so... The coast is clear? (Another question?) The sun is shining. That seems to counteract temperatures that ordinarily would keep me indoors. 

Yesterday's free slideshow/lecture cost me $42.50. I bought the book. Well, it was at a bookstore that I like, independently owned, and the lecturer, a PhD guy from the University of New Mexico, was a character who had things to say that caught my imagination. Structured settlements in the Southwest as early as 1250 BCE. I want to feel rooted in my new world of New Mexico, and these are some pretty ancient roots.
