I'm Numb

Today Karlita and I visited the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum on Central.

Entertainment in Old Town

I went to see Cathryn McGill sing in Old Town last night. The performance was part of the New Mexico Jazz Festival. I first heard her on KUNM talking about the festival, and was interested enough to at least check out the free performance. I was really impressed by her talent. She sang a variety of songs, mostly in the R&B vein but some jazz and blues. I found several of her original compositions compelling, especially one she wrote for her mother "The Hand That Rocked My Cradle". She has a… Continue

Ignorance is Bliss

“Not knowing something is often more comfortable than knowing it.” They just announced that many counties in the SF Bay Area are seeing foreclosure rates increase by almost 200%. In many cases homeowners are seeing the value of their house drop by 33%. That equates to thousands owing more than their house is worth. As a result, many are thinking about just walking away from their mortgages and ruining their credit. An article on Yahoo yesterday outlined how many Californians got themselves int… Continue
