My sister just gave me a hard time about only posting every six months. Unfortunately she's right. And she turned 38 today. So happy birthday Cheri, statistically speaking you're about half way there (if you know what I mean).
Things are going good for us. My folks were in town for a couple days two weeks ago. It was during my spring break so we decided to go check out the Gila Cliff Dwellings near Silver City, NM. It was really awesome. The Mogollon Indians made their homes in a series of 7 caves nested inside a large cliff in what is now the Gila National Forest. We need to post pictures. It was really amazing.
After exploring the dwellings we were pretty famished. Naturally we stopped on our way home in San Antonio, NM to have a burger at our favorite tavern, the Buckhorn. The Buckhorn green-chile cheeseburger is one of the top 10 burgers nationwide in several poles -- and it doesn't disappoint. My parents both said it was the best burger they have ever eaten. I'm tellin' ya, once you try green chile there's no going back.

Junipers...
Apparently I am super allergic to juniper trees. I thought I was getting a cold earlier this week, but now I'm pretty sure I just have horrible, terrible, never-ending allergies. If you've ever been to Socorro, you know that there isn't a lot of vegetation around unless you are right next to the Rio Grande. What little vegetation there is basically consists of small bushes and juniper trees. Well, the junipers are pollinating and it couldn't be happening at a worse time. I rode my motorcycle to school this morning (like most mornings) and I'm almost certain that I inhaled every pollen spore within the city limits.
I'm trying to do a big assignment for the Devil's class [Satan = John Wilson]. I sat down at my desk and began to blow my nose. I then proceeded to blow, and blow, and blow some more. I quickly popped some antihistamines, but to no avail. Finally, around lunch my body ran out of mucus so the blowing at least slowed down a little. So now the large garbage can by my desk is full of used tissue and my nose knows what a car must feel like when it gets sanded down for a paint job. What a nightmare.
Other than that, things are going well. Juli's folks were in town on their snow-birding expedition for the last while. They helped around the apartment a lot and Rod hung some plants out on our porch. Hopefully they wont freeze to death in the next couple weeks. Juli is doing hair and nails at a little girl's birthday party tomorrow to make some extra dough. In the evening we'll be at a department bonfire in San Lorenzo Canyon (a really cool recreation area close to town). Should be a good Saturday... that is, if the junipers don't kill me first.
