The movie, "The Vow," raises questions of commitment and the even deeper underlying question, how hard would you fight for something, or for someone, whom you love? Briefly, in the movie a man must win back the love of his new bride, as she has lost short term memory after a recent head injury. About a five year span has been wiped out, and she has gone back to a very different life, and very different self, than the one which she had chosen. Our world, in its culture of hedonism, seems to have a very difficult time with...

I try hard to remain on the cutting edge of communication technology or at least keep the edge somewhere within my sight. However, my skills at texting are really bad. Once when I asked a coworker about texting and how to do it faster, he replied that he thought it helped a lot if you had really long fingernails.

Let's talk about dust today. Appropriate subject, given this season of reduced visibility as the wind picks up loose levels of groundcover in Silver City and drops them on Clovis. That is fortunate in that much of Clovis is blown into Texas. Large parts of Farmington are deposited in Espanola, which has enough dirt of its own, thank you. Spring is not New Mexico's banner season, but it has its economic advantages. Car washes do well. Pharmacies unload tons of allergy pills. It is a stretch, perhaps, but I will make the...
