Next, Brent, Erin, and Katie went home to Dallas and the rest of flew to New Mexico. Here is where Karma comes into play. Almost everyone I know loves New Mexico. Sadly, I have had some bad experiences there. I had a terrible time at 7th grade church camp because my good friend's grandmother died and when she returned home for the funeral, I was left at camp with zero friends. Then a couple years later, an icy ski trip with my youth group again soured me on the state. Well, instead of keeping my negative thoughts to myself I have bashed New Mexico many times. I have mocked the southwest art, dismissed New Mexico's ski slopes, and called Santa Fe a town full of old hippies. When I returned with my family this month, I really liked everything. Red River was charming, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to wear long sleeves and shorts (an all time great combo). Well, New Mexico let me enjoy the first two days and then I suffered the worst allergy attack ever. By the end of the trip I had a summer cold (the worst of all colds). Gentle readers, remember if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. There was an upside to the cold. While wallowing on the couch one day, I discovered a Mad Men marathon. Oh my word, that is a GREAT show. It is about a New York advertising agency in the early 1960s. The clothes are amazing and the dialogue is witty. Season 3 premiers tonight at 10/9 central on AMC. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
