An Introduction… of sorts
Hi! We’re Scott & Eric from Las Cruces, NM. Scott is currently pursuing his third career, having chosen after nearly 30 years doing drudge work in the military and universities to do what he really likes most. He plays in the dirt. Scott’s an Archaeologist with the US Forest Service in the Lincoln National Forest,…
Times They Are A-Changin’
When last I wrote, I had serious doubts about being able to walk 1900 miles in 2017. But that was still my goal. And then, February hit. On February 8, Scott took me to the ER due to serious coughing… to the point I could not get any air in my lungs. I was admitted…
An Update
It certainly has been a LONG time since the last time I checked in here. I suspect that the usefulness of this blog as a means of maintaining contact with many of you is diminishing. I had wanted to post on January 1, with the results of my walking goal. Unfortunately, Scott’s Dad was hospitalized…
Eric’s Big Day
One of the consequences of my job is that I can’t always be specific about what it is I do. Normally, that’s not too big of a deal. The more “hush hush” stuff that I do is also really, really boring! But, today, at 11:45 am (MT) a project I have been working on…
A Novel in 850 Words
PROLOGUE “Of course!” Joe’s eyes gleamed mischievously as he snapped the shears in his right hand together gleefully. “It happens to just about everyone. Eventually.” He took pity on me then, as with a final snap of the shears he said more quietly “But you have time, a few years at least.” CHAPTER 1 I…
Wednesday Anecdote
Just a short little anecdote this morning to pass the time. In my previous post, I mentioned the great luck I have been having with getting my blood sugar levels and my weight under control. I said, I believe, that I had purchase two new pair of jeans, waist 38. So over the past few…
May I brag?
Since I last wrote, there have been a few minor changes here. The first is, so far my attempt to lower my blood sugar appears to be a resounding success. The elimination (or near elimination) of bread and other starches from my diet means I have lost weight. And, my daily blood sugars are hovering…
In Which I Spew Numbers
These past six weeks have been tough since I last wrote! First of all, there’s been getting used to Scott’s absence during the week. All three of us (Ixchel, Dakota & I) miss having him around. Dakota appears convinced that it is my fault that Scott is gone, so she refuses to sleep in the…
Scott Is Moving Out
HA! That got your attention, didn’t it!?! Well, it’s true. Sort of. So, as with any tale, I better go back to the beginning. As some of you may know, in April Scott applied for an Internship with the USDA Forest Service at Lincoln National Forest, as an archaeologist (what else?). He was one of…
Oh To Breathe
This morning, upon arrival at my office, I was greeted by an email from our Maintenance Personnel. It’s the kind of announcement that I suspect one would ONLY receive at NASA: There will be a site-wide breathing air outage on Thursday, 3/17/16 through Friday, 3/18/16 Presumably, we are expected to hold our breath for the…
