I read somewhere that Santa Fe was a good place for “new beginnings,” so I’ve decided to try it out. After 26 years in the DFW area, I’ve spent most of December and January in Phoenix helping my brother recover from a critical illness. I had intended to spend 3-6 months there, but his [...]

She’s of a size that’s easy to hold
She doesn’t cry, “Ewww! This soup is COLD!”
And as for the [...]

I’ve re-written my profile to better deflect what you gals want. My humidity sometimes gets the best of me, but I can tell you that I’m the real thing, the whole nine enchiladas, the Pentultimutt Renaissauce Man.
